Atmospheric transport and mixing
My research in this area aims to develop a theory of the large-scale transport of atmospheric constituents, especially trace species such as ozone and water vapor, and of dynamical properties properties like potential vorticity. Currently we are using Green's function methods to diagnose the transport circulation of the troposphere and lower stratosphere.
Climate Dynamics
Current research involves the use of data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite to understand climatic and dynamical processes in the tropical atmosphere. We are investigating the use of TRMM data to estimate the properties of tropical wave modes and oscillations.
Stratospheric ozone
This research primarily uses satellite data about ozone and other trace species to understand the chemical and dynamical processes responsible for ozone trends and fluctuations.
