Research Interests
  • Ocean data assimilation
  • Large-scale ocean-atmosphere interaction
  • Numerical simulation of coupled atmosphere-ocean model
  • Decadal change in climate variability with increased greenhouse gases

Projects

ECCO Icon ECCO
The "Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean" (ECCO) project produces sustained estimates of the complete global three-dimensional state of the ocean by assimilating observations with ocean circulation models.


Professional Experience
  • Postdoctoral Research Associate, Jet Propulsion Laboratory/California Institute of Technology (2007-Present)
  • Research Assistant, University of British Columbia, Canada (2001-2007)
