I am interested in the dynamics of the wind- and buoyancy driven gyres, circulation in marginal seas, and the basin-scale thermohaline circulation, as well as the generation of mesoscale variability (time scales of months, length scales of 100-1000 km) and its influences on the mean circulation. I tend to approach problems from a numerical\/theoretical point of view but try to incorporate observations into my analysis whenever possible.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Michael A.
