Research
The focus of my research is to (1) assimilate mesoscale oceanic features with horizontally inhomogeneous subsurface ocean temperature profiles into the initialization of coupled hurricane-ocean models and (2) assess the impact of these features on the forecasted intensity of idealized and real-world tropical cyclones.Publications:
