I study the atmosphere (lower- and upper- layers) and the coupled atmosphere-ice-ocean system by means of numerical models. I am particularly interested in atmospheric gravity wave propagation and breaking, and in the large-scale coupling between the atmosphere and the ocean.
My research at the ICTP concerns the coupling between the atmosphere and the ocean at the polar regions via sea ice. In particular, I investigate how sea ice is influenced by the parameterised orographic gravity wave drag in climate models.
On the topics of gravity wave modelling and climate at the polar regions I collaborate with researchers across various international institutions, among these: University of Leeds, UK Met Office, British Antarctic Survey.
