I am interested in atmosphere-ocean-ice interactions in the Arctic and especially the effects of marine cold-air outbreaks on the ocean circulation and water mass transformation, using ocean reanalysis and coupled model data. I also have a particular interest in climate variability and change, the role of Arctic sea ice in the climate system and its linkages with lower latitudes.

 

Research areas

• Climate variability and change
• Arctic-to-mid-latitude teleconnections
• Atmosphere-ocean-ice interactions
• Marine cold-air outbreaks
