Research Interest
My main research interests relate to the general ocean circulation, to the ocean's influence on climate and to the understanding of processes and mechanisms in the climate system that lead to common patterns and their variability and, eventually, to climate predictability. This involves numerical modeling with both ocean GCMs and coupled ocean-atmosphere models.
