Research Interests

• the use of simple models to understand the general circulation
• annular modes in models and observations
• dynamics of eddy-mean flow feedbacks
• stratosphere/troposphere coupling
• effects of climate change on large-scale atmospheric transport
• comparison of models (both idealized and fully coupled GCMs) with observations
