Background

Current research
area:
Doppler Radar data analysis: Currently I'm working on a test
bed to extract wind field information from
Doppler radar and baloon sounding observations using
variational analysis techniques. Another project
I'm working on is the estimation of the deformation strain rate from
data collected by a single Dopplerradar.
Tropical Dynamics: in
particular
I'm interested in understand how convection
works over tropical oceans.
From September 1 to October 15, 2001. I was
involved in the field phase
of EPIC.
This project was designed
to study the
east Pacific intertropical
convergence zone, the associated cross-equatorial inflow, and the
east Pacific
warm pool. In the field, my
major responsibilities
were onboard of the
NOAA WP3-43 research aircraft.
