Published in 2017 at "Geophysical Research Letters"

DOI: 10.1002/2017gl073633

Abstract: Comprehensive models of climate change projections have shown that the latitudinal band of extratropical storms will likely shift poleward under global warming. Here we study this poleward shift from a Lagrangian storm perspective, through simulations… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society"

DOI: 10.1002/qj.3960

Abstract: Blocking is associated with outbreaks of easterlies induced by a continuum of features including anticyclones, cyclones or both. Blocking identification methods disagree on the levels of high‐latitude blocking (HLB) activity. We investigate the cause of… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society"

DOI: 10.1002/qj.70043

Abstract: We analyze the mean dynamical structure of the lower atmosphere over the tropical East Pacific and Atlantic basins during boreal summer, when the sea‐surface temperature (SST) is maximized well poleward of the Equator. We use… read more here.

Published in 2017 at "Journal of Fluid Mechanics"

DOI: 10.1017/jfm.2017.698

Abstract: We investigate the excitation and radiation of near-inertial internal gravity waves continuously excited by a latitudinally confined temporally fluctuating wind in a numerical model of a stratified ocean on a $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}$ -plane at mid-latitude. The… read more here.
