I am an Oceanographer in the
Climate Dynamics and Prediction
Group at the Geophysical Fluids Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL).
My work is centered around development of and investigation with general circulation
models. I was previously a Research Scientist with
Princeton University
and prior to that a UCAR Visiting
Scientist at GFDL.
Currently Working On:
- GFDL High Resolution Climate Models
- Ocean Color & Cyclogenesis
- Prototyping decadal prediction experiments with GFDL CM2.5 high resolution climate model
