Assistant Scientist Momme Hell comes to WHOI from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) where he was an ASP Postdoctoral Fellow in the Ocean Section and Computational and Information Systems Lab. Prior to that he was a Postdoc at Brown University and Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO). Momme received his PhD from SIO, MSc from ETH Zurich, and BSc from Geomar, Kiel.
Momme‘s research spans from atmospheric large-scale dynamics to small-scale air-sea interaction including the impact of surface waves on climate relevant processes. His current research focuses on air-sea coupling in high-resolution coupled models and how remote-sensing can be used to improve the representation of sub-grid-scale physics.
When not working, Momme enjoys running on sunny beaches, hiking coastal mountains, open-water swimming, and playing guitar (if he’d remember how).
