Adam Phillips, Associate Scientist
Research
I am an associate scientist in the Climate Analysis Section, and work with Dr. Clara Deser and Dr. Jim Hurrell. My research interests include:
- Interdecadal climate variability
- The simulated climate of coupled models
- The regional effects of global warming.
To accomplish most data processing and graphical needs, I use NCL, an interpreted language similar to IDL or MATLAB.
Education
- M.S., Atmospheric Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1999, Thesis: "A Climatological Study of the Evolution and Thermodynamics of Severe Arctic Cold Waves East of the Rockies"
- B.S., Atmospheric Sciences, University of Missouri, 1997.
