Research interests: Acquisition, analysis, and interpretation of laboratory and field measurements of vortex evolution, internal waves, and turbulent flows; comparisons of field data with laboratory measurements and numerical simulations; experimental fluid mechanics; analysis and interpretation of atmospheric and oceanic flows.

Research interests: Atmospheric Sciences Dynamic meteorology, atmospheric general circulation.

Research interests: Mesoscale and large scale physical oceanography; the application of symmetry methods to geophysical fluid dynamics

Research interests: Understanding and parameterizing the effects of smallscale ocean processes on large scales, including the impacts of internal waves, turbulence, fronts, double diffusion and stratified turbulence.

Research interests: Ocean and Earth Sciences, Fundamental Fluid Mechanics. Turbulence, vortices, remote sensing.

Research interests: Ocean and Earth Sciences. Geophysical fluid dynamics; perturbation and asymptotic methods; numerical modeling.

Research interests: Atmospheric Sciences, Ocean and Earth Sciences

Research interests: Science Research in Nearshore Processes. Since graduating from Scripps in 1986, she has spent much of her technical career performing field and model studies of nearshore (shoreline to nominally 10m depth) wave and current dynamics and the interplay with sediment- and morpho-dynamics. e-mail: j[dot]oltman[dot]shay[at]nwra[dot]com

Research interests: Atmospheric sciences. Atmospheric and mathematical science.

Research interests: Experience in data analysis, turbulence and mixed layer processes, and data-model comparison studies. Research projects ranging from studies of the near-shore coastal environment, to deep-sea hydrothermal vents, to sea-ice modeling and field projects in the Arctic, to aircraft wake vortices. Recent work has included the A380 wake separation study group and participation in the FAA's ReCat Phase I project to reduce aircraft wake separation.

Research interests: The interaction of clouds and trace gases with infrared radiation, particularly in Polar regions. Black carbon and other light-absorbing impurities in snow in Antarctica and the Chilean Andes. Scanning electron microscopy of ice crystals. Molecular dynamics calculations of ice.

Research interests: Atmospheric Sciences, Fundamental Fluid Mechanics. Atmospheric Dynamics, Vortex Dynamics, Numerical Modeling, Geophysical Fluid Dynamics.

Research interests: Space physics. Ionospheric physics (modeling, observations, data analysis), space weather (effects of the space environment on satellite, communications, and navigation systems), and operational software design and implementation.

Research interests: I study geophysical electric and magnetic fields to further our understanding of Earth's atmosphere and space environment. Topics include lightning, middle atmospheric discharges such as sprites and ELVES, solar-terrestrial effects in the ionosphere and magnetosphere, and reports of geomagnetic and ionospheric precursors to earthquakes.
