Mesoscale Variability of the California Current

Abstract

My long-term goal is to understand the kinematics and dynamics of the California Current System. I am particularly interested in the structure of the inshore flow and the interannual, seasonal, and mesoscale variability that occurs off Central California. I feel that this knowledge can be applied to other Eastern Boundary currents and to naval warfare in these regions.
