Research
interests:
- Shear instability, the mechanistics
of perturbation growth on plane parallel shear flow
- Wave-mean flow interactions in midlatitudes,
storm track dynamics, eddy life cycles. Possible dynamical regimes in
midlatitude circulation.
- Stratospheric dynamics: Planetary wave structure
and variability. The effects of downward reflection on wave structure.
- TMME- Tropical Modulation of Midlatitude Eddies -
the effect of ENSO on midlatitude
circulation.
- Mid latitude eddy life cycle dynamics. The
effects of basic state wave geometry on the
life cycles (LC1 vs LC2), and possible
consequences for larger scale circulation- storm track structure and
variability, the response of midlatitudes to El Nino.
I am also an adjunct
researcher at the Climate Modeling group at Lamont
Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia
University
