Oceanic Internal Tides: Observations, Analysis and Modeling

Eugene Morozov is Head of the Laboratory of Hydrological Processes at the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology in Moscow (Russia). He has been working at this Institute since he graduated from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 1970. He never changed his place of work. His research is focusing on oceanic internal waves and large-scale circulation of the ocean. He is a field oceanographer and a specialist in observations in the open ocean. He works on data acquisition, data processing, interpretations, and partly numerical modeling. Since 2002, he has been interested in the abyssal flows in the Atlantic Ocean and abyssal circulation, especially in the flows in deep fractures. Since 2008, he has also been working on the problems of arctic oceanography in cooperation with scientists from the University Centre in Svalbard. His interests are in the interaction of the ocean water and glaciers descending to the fjords. During his oceanographic career he has participated in 44 long oceanic cruises in all oceans of the globe and in 15 coastal expeditions. His field work  is related to internal tides and currents in the ocean such as the Gulf Stream or the  Kuroshio Current and its rings, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the Falkland Current, the California Current, and equatorial countercurrents in the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. He was a guest scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (USA), the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain),  the University Centre in Svalbard, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad de Montevideo, Arizona State University (USA), Florida State University (USA), the University of Victoria (BC, Canada), and the University of Cape Town.  In 1999 he became a member of the Executive Committee of the International Association for the Physical Sciences of the Ocean (IAPSO). From 2011 to 2015 he was the President of this association. He was also a member of the Executive Committee of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) and a member of the Executive Committee of the Scientific Council on Oceanic Research (SCOR).
