Research Interests
 | Small-scale physical processes, such as turbulence, in oceans and lakes. Mixing processes in the surface and bottom boundary layers in oceans and lakes. Air-sea interactions and physics of heat and momentum transfer between the atmosphere and the aquatic boundary layer (specifically, convective and surface-wave related processes). Physical oceanography of coastal regions. Model-aided analysis of the response of lakes/coastal regions to external (atmospheric) forcing. |
