Using remotely sensed data to study the Arctic sea ice and its interactions with sea surface temperatures, air temperatures and specific humidity. Primary research activities focus on estimating the moisture flux of the Arctic sea ice and ocean. Improving the moisture flux measurements over the Arctic sea ice using new parameterizations in the Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory model. Expertise in the analysis of various satellite sensor data (e.g. AIRS, SSM/I, AMSR-E, AVHRR).
