Janet Sprintall is an Australian-born oceanographer at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. She specializes in inter-basin exchanges, and in particular in the Indonesian throughflow [1] and dynamics of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current through the Drake passage. Sprintall studied barrier layers for her doctoral research, [2] and as of 2016 is building on that work as a principal investigator with the NASA SPURS II project in the tropical Pacific. [3] As an expert in Pacific Ocean dynamics, she has been highly cited. [4] Sprintall provided plot advice for the TV series Lost.
