About
I am a Research Scientist III affiliated with CIRES, Univ. of Colorado working in the Modeling and Data Assimilation Division (MADD) of NOAA's Physical Sciences Laboratory. I use sophisticated numerical models together with observations to improve understanding and prediction of convection and its interactions with dynamics, so that society can better respond to changes in weather and climate.
Research Interests
- Convectively coupled equatorial waves
- The Madden-Julian Oscillation
