Research Statement:
I study the fluid dynamics of the atmosphere, using observations, theory, and numerical models of varying complexity. Current research foci include:

  • Dynamical interactions between the stratosphere and the troposphere

  • Jets and their variability

  • Gravity waves in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere, and their interactions with the large-scale circulation

  • Influences of ocean temperatures on midlatitude climate
