“Humboldt, ‘the first of travellers’, but not
The last, if late accounts be accurate,
Invented, by some name I have forgot,
As well as the sublime discovery’s date,
An airy instrument, with which he sought
To ascertain the atmospheric state,
By measuring ‘the intensity of the blue’:
O, Lady Amphitrite! Let me measure you!”(Adapted from Lord Byron)
Dr. Marlos Goes is an Associate Scientist at the University of Miami’s Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) and the Physical Oceanography department at AOML. Dr. Goes received his Masters and PhD from the Oceanographic Institute of the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and worked as a postdoctoral associate at the Pennsylvania State University. His primary interest is understanding and predicting the large-scale oceanic variability, and assessing its impacts on Earth’s climate.
Dr. Goes joined CIMAS and AOML in 2010 as an Assistant Scientist, before becoming an Associate Scientist in 2020. Since joining CIMAS, Dr. Goes has worked and published papers on geoengineering, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, western boundary and equatorial currents, sea level variability, ocean observing system optimization, improving instrumentation, air-sea interaction, paleoceanography, climate modeling, Bayesian statistics and data analysis.
