Welcome

I am a Senior Data Assimilation Research Scientist at the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes (CW3E) of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego. This is the home for my professional and creative interests. Please see the links in the menu for details about my research and other activities. See news and announcements below.

Paper In Print

My manuscript "Chaotic dynamics and the role of covariance inflation for reduced rank Kalman filters with model error" is now in print (open access) in the Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics special issue on "Numerical modeling, predictability and data assimilation in weather, ocean and climate: A special issue honoring the legacy of Anna Trevisan (1946-2016)". Anna is my academic grandmother and has profoundly shaped my approach to and understanding of data assimilation and dynamical systems. I am deeply honored to celebrate her life and scientific acheivements in this way. This special issue contains the contributions of many leading geophysicists who have been influenced by Anna's work, and is an excellent issue for a survey on modern issues in data assimilation and predictibility.
