Welcome to CAS

John Fasullo, Project Scientist

Research

I'm a project scientist in the Climate Analysis Section and collaborate with Dr. Kevin Trenberth and others here at NCAR. My research interests include:

The Global Energy Budget as depicted in observations and models.
Tropical Dynamics and Meteorology with an empahisis on monsoons.
Climate change in the Eurasian/Indian Ocean sector and its coupling with oceanic biogeochemical cycles.

To accomplish most data processing and graphical needs, I use IDL and NCL.
