Scientist
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Anthony Kirincich is a Senior Scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Chief Scientist of the Martha’s Vineyard Coastal Observatory, and the lead scientist of the DOE's third Wind Forecast Improvement Project (WFIP3), focused on the offshore wind energy environment. Kirincich has a Bachelor of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Vanderbilt University, a Masters in Oceanography from the University of Rhode Island, and a PhD in Physical Oceanography from Oregon State University. Kirincich is an expert in coastal ocean dynamics, across-shelf exchange, and air-sea interactions. Kirincich has developed new methods of sensing the coastal ocean using both in situ and remote instruments, as well as the use of land-based radar backscatter to observe ocean surface winds. In addition to leading the WFIP3, Kirincich has developed the concept of Ocean Test Beds for ocean technology adaptation and integration into the emerging U.S. offshore wind energy industry.
