I am an atmospheric scientist interested in the dynamic of the atmosphere on different temporal and spatial scales. My interests include extratropical cyclones, jet stream dynamic, heavy precipitation and blocking events, numerical weather forecast, bias in climate models and ocean-ice-atmosphere interactions.
