Research Interests

  • Quantification of the global atmospheric and oceanic energy budget
  • Variability and trends of energy budgets related to large-scale climate anomalies (e.g. El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO)) and climate change
  • Reanalyses and other energy budget-related datasets such as radiation and precipitation
