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.
