I am a physical oceanographer by training working towards understanding the physical processes driving upper ocean variability relevant to predictions across time-scales. As a climate scientist I seek to enhance our understanding of the mechanisms driving subseasonal-to-decadal scale variability in the global upper ocean.
Being employed by the Science Applications International Corporation, I work as a scientist at Environmental Modeling Center in National Weather Service, NOAA. Through community-wide collaboration, EMC is developing NOAA’s next generation Unified Forecast System prototypes for subseasonal to seasonal timescales. As a member of the Dynamics and Coupled Modeling group within the Modeling and Data Assimilation Branch of the EMC, I am involved in model diagnostics, building tools and metrics for evaluating ocean-atmosphere interactive processes, including running prototypes.
