Wang, Jinbo Associate Professor
Positions
- Associate Professor, Oceanography, College of Arts and Sciences
Dr. Wang specializes in physical oceanography, geophysical fluid dynamics, and satellite oceanography. His research focuses on the role of the upper ocean in the Earth's climate system, particularly on small-scale processes that are not accounted for in low-resolution climate models or conventional satellite altimetry. Prior to joining Texas A&M University (TAMU), he worked on the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission and led its mission validation field campaigns. His research approach combines theory, simulations, and observations. He has co-chaired the U.S. CLIVAR POS panel and several working groups related to SWOT, upper-ocean submesoscale processes, and the application of machine learning in oceanography. Dr. Wang is currently recruiting graduate students and postdocs.
