Professional Interests

Currently I mainly work in simulated environments, using global simulations of Earth's meteorology to simulate new and current observations, with the goal of improving the medium-range (3-7 day) forecast skill.  I've worked with members of the AOML Observing System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) team since 2012, before officially joining AOML in 2016.  I'm particularly interested in characterization of instrument errors in simulated observations, model-state adjustments needed to match real-world model performance, and application of new methodologies in ways where an OSSE can be informative in how those methodologies are used in real-world model analyses and forecasts.

 

While I am proud to be a member of the OAR/AOML family, I do my work in College Park, MD, at the NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediction (NCWCP).  This allows me to work closely with scientists in NESDIS/STAR and NWS/NCEP/EMC, sharing lessons learned within AOML-led projects while also tracking developments in observations and modelling of importance to AOML/HRD.
