Research
Interests:
My primary areas of research fall under the broad heading
of the large scale
oceanic circulation and its low frequency variability. I am interested
in the dynamics of the wind- and buoyancy-driven gyres, circulation in marginal seas,
and the basin-scale thermohaline circulation, as well
as the generation of mesoscale variability (time scales of months, length scales of 100-1000 km)
and its influences on the mean circulation. I tend to approach problems from a
numerical/theoretical point of view, but try to incorporate observations
into my analysis whenever possible.
