Research Interests
Diagnosis, modeling, and predictability of large-scale weather and climate variations on time scales of days to millennia.
Current Research Projects
Reconciling non-Gaussian climate statistics (skewness, kurtosis, power-law distributions) with linear dynamics; Understanding coupled air-sea interactions in the Tropics; Understanding the global impacts of changes in Tropical weather and climate; Extending the 20th century climate record back to 1850 using surface pressure data; Isolating the contribution of ENSO-related variations to 20th century climate change; Understanding the sensitivity of global warming to the details of tropical ocean warming.
