Curriculum Vitae
Research Interests
- My current research focuses on identifying sources of predictability to develop skillful 3 to 5 week forecasts of precipitation and of extreme weather such as atmospheric rivers, tornadoes, and hail. Two such sources of predictability that are of great interest are the Madden-Julian and the quasi-biennial oscillations.
