Research Interests

  • Large-scale ocean circulation
  • Coastal dynamics

I am primarily interested in process oriented studies. In my research I am using both analytical and numerical methods of investigations.

Currently I am working on the following two projects:

  • Physical processes controlling the water, heat, and salt exchange between the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The basic tool: A regional model based on the Princeton Ocean Model.
  • Model skill assessment based on the comparison of observed and simulated data.

The main question is how to use the observed data for a model validation. Two different numerical models are analyzed: Naval Research Laboratory Layered Ocean Model (NLOM) and HydroQual Estuarine and Coastal Ocean Model (ECOM).
