I am a Senior Scientist within the Earth Observation Laboratory of NCAR and the lead scientist for the Integrated Surface Flux Facility (ISFF). My personal research encompasses all aspects of turbulence, micrometeorology - in particular the measurement of surface fluxes, and boundary layer meteorology.
