· The Effects of Antarctic Circumpolar Current Transport on the Frontal Variability in Drake Passage.

Chapter of Ph.D Dissertation. (PDF)^*is ready to submit to Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans.

· The Wind Stress Effects on Antarctic Circumpolar Current Fronts in Drake Passage.

Chapter of Ph.D Dissertation. (PDF)^*is in preparation.

· The Topography Control of the Circulation in Numerical Simulation of ACC fronts in Drake Passage.

Chapter of Ph.D Dissertation. (PDF)^*is in preparation.

· The long-term trend in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current.

Project still in experiments, further statistical analysis is needed.

· The freshwater transport estimate in Gulf of Alaska.

Projects worked with Dr. Thomas Royer. Manuscript ^* is in revision to submit to Geophysical Research Letters.
