I am a Professor in Physical Climate Science in AOPP, with a focus on large scale atmospheric dynamics. My interests revolve around the weather and climate of the mid-latitudes, in particular the jets, storm tracks and the large scale regimes such as blocking. I work on basic understanding of these features, how they vary and also how they respond to forcing such as anthropogenic climate change. A recent focus has been on how the midlatitude dynamics interacts with both tropical and polar regions.
Much of my work has revolved around the mid-latitude jet streams; arguably the greatest weather systems on Earth. If you live anywhere in mid-latitudes, the jet stream is likely the most important factor affecting your weather and climate.
