research
The general purpose of this project is to understand the generation
and behaviour of internal waves in the ocean by means of the analysis
of potential vorticity, the use of ray tracing theory, and the development
of numerical simulations.
research
interests
- Theoretical work on basic aspects in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics.
- Numerical and experimental work concerning the balance of horizontal momentum, computation of the vertical velocity in the ocean, and hydrographic data assimilation in numerical models of the ocean.
- Experimental work on the dynamics of the upper ocean with emphasis on the circulation in the Alboran Sea (Western Mediterranean).
