Summary

The work of the Cambridge Ocean Modelling Group during the past few years is described. Research has fallen into seven main categories: midlatitude circulation, topographic effects, mesoscale features, convection, storms, tropical ocean-atmosphere problems, and modelling techniques. A bibliography of work produced by the group, plus related papers, is provided.
