Research Interests and Activities

My main research interests are climate dynamics and modes of variability, including MJO, ENSO, and global and regional climate model representations of these. I am also interested in sources of predictability and initialized prediction on sub-seasonal to seasonal time-scales. In my research, I work with CAM, CESM, and the E3SM as well as numerous observational datasets.
