About Pieter Smit

We live on planet ocean- and understanding the world\'s oceans and their effect on weather and climate is of tremendous importance. I strongly believe that to truly understand and predict the ocean we need a combination of physics based numerical models, data driven (AI/ML) approaches and above all else- real-time ocean observations!
