Research Statement

Developing and deploying autonomous sensing systems to make persistent ocean observations.  Investigating air-sea interaction and ocean dynamics in tropical cyclones and strong storms.  Collecting and synthesizing diverse datasets of global ocean observations to map and understand the ocean’s general circulation.  Improving physical parameterizations in ocean circulation models.  Studying the special role of western boundary currents in the general circulation and eddy-mean flow interactions within them.
