Laboratoire d'Océanographie Physique et Spatiale
LOPS - CNRS
LOPS teams work to observe and understand the physical state of the ocean: movements (currents, waves, eddies, etc.), temperature, salinity. This work covers from very large scales with the thermohaline circulation of the global ocean, and its variability at multidecadal scales, to waves of a few centimeters in wavelength, through ocean turbulence at all scales, and specific studies on coastal regions.

Climate science for oceans
JPI Climate & JPI Oceans Joint Transnational Call on the Next Generation Climate Science in Europe for Oceans
Oceans play a key role in the climate system and are also affected by climate change. As confirmed by the IPCC special report on ocean and cryosphere, ocean dynamics are a major modulator of weather and climate including future trends and extremes. However, there are still uncertainties in the understanding and quantification of key climate-ocean interactions and the ocean’s buffering capacities for absorbing heat and CO2. This joint call aims to address these uncertainties.
