Physics, especially geophysical fluid dynamics and physics of the ocean, the atmosphere and the climate, viewed from very large to small scales. Parts of my research cover the following topics:

• Geophysical fluid dynamics
• Large-, meso- and sub-mesoscale ocean and atmospheren dynamics
• Dynamical instabilities in fluids and geophysical fluids
• Geostrophic turbulence
• Water mass transformation theory
• Ocean-Climate variability
• Coastal dynamics

My research methods include development of analytical models, comparison of theoretical results with observations as well as realistic and idealized numerical models.
