Harry Leonard Bryden,

ocean circulation and in the role of the ocean in the Earth's climate.[3]

Early life and education

Born in

geostrophy.[7] He was supervised initially by Henry Stommel and then principally by Nick Fofonoff, and his thesis title was "Momentum, Mass, Heat, and Vorticity Balances from Oceanic Measurements of Current and Temperature".[8]

Career

Upon competing his doctoral thesis, Bryden briefly moved to

Southampton Oceanography Centre
, and has remained with its successor institutes. Though partially retired, Bryden remains active at the University of Southampton in both research and the wider scientific community. Harry Bryden was appointed Regius Professor of Ocean Sciences at the University of Southampton in March 2020.

A particular focus of Bryden's research is the large-scale

global warming has been hypothesised, and Bryden and colleagues have studied this via the RAPID array[11] that crosses the Atlantic at 26.5°N.[12][13]

Awards and honours

In 2003, Bryden both became a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society, and was awarded the society's Henry Stommel Research Award "for fundamental and elegant observational contributions to understanding the oceanic general circulation". In 2005, Bryden was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.[14] In 2009, he won the Prince Albert I Medal "in recognition of his fundamental contributions to understanding the ocean's role in the global climate system".[15] In 2010, Bryden was elected a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union.[16] Bryden served as president of the Challenger Society for Marine Science from 2010 to 2012. In late 2012, the European Geosciences Union awarded Bryden the 2013 Fridtjof Nansen Medal for his contributions to Earth sciences.[17] In 2013, in recognition of his work, Bryden was elected an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS).[18]
