Principal Scientist
Research Department, Earth System Modelling Section, Coupled Processes Group
Summary:
I contribute to the development of ECMWF Integrated Forecasting Systems in the Research department. In particular, I coordinate the research on Coupled Processes within Earth System Modelling. Representing the Earth surface (soil, snow, vegetation, urban areas, water and ice contrasts) at kilometric scale has sizeable scientific and technological challenges and large scope to enhance Earth system monitoring and predictive skills.
Professional interests:
- Numerical weather prediction and Earth system science
- Surface-Atmosphere interactions and predictability
- Earth Observations and use of machine learning
- Climate-change and low-frequency variability
