Research Interests:
Atmospheric and Climate Dynamics
Low-frequency variability and teleconnections, wave/mean flow interaction,
wave dynamics, baroclinic wave life cycles
Earth Rotation
Dynamics associated with solid earth length-of-day and polar motion
Current Projects:
The Dynamics of Equatorial Atmospheric Angular Momentum
National Science Foundation; Start Date––2002; Steven B. Feldstein, Earth and Environmental Systems Institute
The primary goal of this project is to perform research that will lead to a better understanding of the atmospheric processes that drive intraseasonal (<90 days) fluctuations in the equatorial atmospheric angular momentum.
