My work is dedicated to the observation and modeling of the ocean circulation through different methods and techniques. I started in the early days with ocean-atmosphere box models, followed by studies of the equatorial and southern Atlantic Ocean western boundary layer using inverse models, then to look at the deep and intermediate circulation in the Gulf of Mexico using profiling floats. I focus nowadays on the influence of the high latitudes on the global thermohaline conveyor belt. I have also interests in oceanographic instrumentation and took part in several research cruises all over the world. In the last years i have joined the modeling world and run numerical models on cluster nodes. I am part of the Current Meter Facility at Florida State University.
