Activities
The ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL) is typically well mixed as a result of different turbulent processes arising from the action of wind, waves, and convection. The aims of my research are to investigate the OSBL and their role in air-sea using hydrographic data from cruises (CTD data) and with high-resolution profiles from a microstructure profiler (TKE dissipation profiles). In order to obtain a characterization of this upper layer, I'm currently investigating the relationship between the mixed layer depth and the mixing layer depth.
Skills
As a PhD student, I have acquired good programming skills in order to develop codes to work with ocean data.
I also participated in a training on the ocean and in different cruises where I learned how to obtain CTD profiles and other measurements on board.
Given my background in Physical Oceanography, I also have strong skills in that subject, with a main focus on the ocean surface boundary layer and in air-sea interactions. To improve the quality of my research, I have been participating in many different workshops and courses during the last years.
