1）Stereoscopic observations of marine environment:

Stereoscopic observation and technical study of key environmental factors, key processes and ecological events, such as circulation, fronts, thermocline, water mass, vortex, primary production, nutrient salt and hypoxia

2）Ocean Key Processes and Mechanism Study:

The exchange flux and multi-scale processes and key mechanisms of important marine interfaces (rivers - offshore, water - bottom, shelf - offshore, ocean - atmosphere, etc).

3) Comprehensive study on Dynamics of Marine Ecosystem: The coupling and regulation mechanism of the physical-chemical-biological ocean process and its resource and environmental effects; Development China's coastal and peripheral ocean numerical model of fine-grained ecosystem dynamics to improve the ecological environment structure and the integrated forecasting ability of the change of function.
