Research Interests
My main research interests are
associated with understanding the coupling between different regions of the
atmosphere, this coupling often being associated with waves on a number of
temporal and spatial scales. My work involves the use of a range of
remotely sensed observations from radar and satellite instruments and data
from reanalyses and other models. At present I am particularly interested in
-
- VHF radar remote sensing of
convection and the potential impact of convection on mixing between
the stratosphere and troposphere.
- Stratosphere-troposphere exchange in
the Southern Hemisphere
- Mesosphere-Lower Thermosphere
dynamics above Antarctica, primarily related to understanding the wave-driven
circulation at these altitudes using the Scott Base MF radar.
- Internal gravity wave observations
with radar and satellite systems.
- Antarctic ozone depletions
dependence on planetary scale waves.
- The impact of changes in the
total solar irradiance on the chemistry and dynamics of the middle
atmosphere.
