Description
Summary:Research Interests My research focuses broadly on mixing and transport processes in turbulent geophysical flows in the ocean and atmosphere. I have used simple numerical models, laboratory experiments and observational data with theory to better understand how small- and mesoscale ocean phenomena affect large-scale transport and circulation. Recent projects include:- The role of topography on jet formation and steering,- Near-surface transport properties near the Antarctic Peninsula,- Eddy heat fluxes in equilibrated baroclinic turbulence,- Analysis of turbulent diapycnal mixing in Drake Passage.
