Numerical modelling of the atmosphere - computational atmospheric dynamics
The representation of sub-grid-scale convection in atmospheric models has long been poor. To improve this situation, I am working on multi-fluid modelling of convection. This involves a convection parameterisation at the heart of a dynamical core. This is much closer physics-dynamics coupling than has been used before and will enable mass transport by convection.
Good code, teaching and my children
Writing good code, keeping up to date with the literature and work-life balance
