- Ph.D., Physical Oceanology, 1989, Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow
Research Interests
My research interests include the study of large-scale ocean circulation and coastal dynamics. In my research I am using an approach which combines advanced data processing algorithms and numerical methods of investigations. This research focuses on:
- Analysis and interpretation of oceanographic data using statistical and inverse methods of data processing
- Development of regional and general circulation numerical models for process oriented studies
- Application of the methods of variational data assimilation into numerical models.
