Bio
I am a seagoing physical oceanographer and part of the Multiscale Ocean Dynamics group at SIO/UCSD. I am tracking the energy path from internal wave sources all the way down to dissipation using long-term velocity times series and turbulence measurements.
To that end, I am leading the development of the EPSILOMETER, the one-and-only SCRIPPS micro-structure profiler, and getting my hands “dirty” with software and analog front-end development, as well as probe fabrication.
