Advisor: Robert Wood
Research emphasis: understanding controls on variability of cloud properties in the southeast Pacific (using/developing WRF-Chem model in conjunction with satellite data, reanalysis, and VOCALS field data)
VOCALS
Papers:
-Subseasonal variability of low cloud radiative properties over the southeast Pacific Ocean
-Development and impact of hooks of large droplet concentration on remote southeast Pacific stratocumulus
Contributed to
