Description of scientific projects
I am involved in studies of the large scale ocean dynamics, ocean-atmosphere interactions, and the ocean's role in climate. My work focuses mainly on the tropics and emphasizes the use of data and models to understand climate change and natural climate variability across intraseasonal to decadal time scales.
