I am a Research Associate Professor at the Naval Postgraduate School I have been here since 1982. My research areas are Polar Meteorology and Boundary Layer Meteorology with emphasis on Air-Ice-Sea interactions. I have made measurements in polar regions as part of the following projects (in addition to several "liquid ocean" projects):

MIZEX-83 (Marginal Ice Zone Experiment, June-July, 1983)
MIZEX-84 (Marginal Ice Zone Experiment, June-July, 1984)
MIZEX-87 (Marginal Ice Zone Experiment, April-May, 1987)
CEAREX (Coordinated Eastern Arctic Experiment, Sept., 1988 - May, 1989)
- Polarbjorn Drift (Oct. - Dec., 1988)
- "O" Camp (March - April, 1989)
ANZFLUX (Antarctic Zone Flux Experiment), July-August, 1994
Labrador Sea Deep Convection Experiment , February-March 1997
Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic (SHEBA), 1997-1998
- Main tower calibrations

My best web site! Check out the Polar Meteorology Web Module!

I teach MR/OC 3212 "Polar Meteorology" and MR/OC 3570 "Operational Oceanography and Meteorology" to officer-students at the Naval Postgraduate School.

I also direct students in MS thesis and Ph.D Dissertation research.

Very thesis topics for NPS students! My publications
