Dr. Zhang is interested in understanding how air-ice-ocean
interaction in polar oceans affects polar and global climate. He
investigates properties of polar ice-ocean systems using large-scale
sea ice and ocean models. His recent work has focused on the evolution
of the Arctic sea ice cover and the upper ocean in response to
significant climate change recently observed in
the northern polar ocean. He has developed a coupled global ice-ocean
model to study the responses of sea ice to different conditions of
surface heat fluxes and the effects of sea ice growth/decay on oceanic
thermohaline circulation. He is also interested in developing
next-generation sea ice models which capture anisotropic nature of ice
dynamics. He has developed efficient sea ice dynamics models that are
particularly useful for stable, high-resolution modeling. His research
results have been published in the Journal of
Physical Oceanography, the Journal of Geophysical Research, the Journal
of Climate, Monthly Weather Review,
Geophysical Research Letters, Ocean Modeling, and other scientific
journals. Dr. Zhang joined the Laboratory in 1994.
