Interests

The goal of my group is to understand in full depth, both dynamical and physical processes which determine the circulation of the oceans and the atmosphere using both simple and sophisticated models. In particular, we are currently interested in the following topics to foster Monsoon Oceangraphy

  1. Modeling and analysis of ocean-atmosphere coupled phenomena including ENSO, recently discovered IOD and DICEs.
  2. Simulation of variability in the Pacific Ocean using a high-resolution ocean general circulation model for GOOS (Global Ocean Observing System)and PBECS (Pacific Basin-wide Climate Study)/CLIVAR (Study of Climate variability and Predictability).
  3. Simulation of the Indian Ocean and the Southern Ocean.
  4. Simulation of the Indonesian Throughflow.
  5. Modeling of nonlinear planetary vortices in geophysical fluids.
