I'm a student in PAOS, the
Program in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
This picture here fairly closely resembles me most days; I'm a happy buffalo.
As a member of the
Toon Research Group, I work hard and take part in many projects.
Among them is incorporating sea
spray aerosol into CARMA, the Community Aerosol and Radiation Model
for the Atmosphere. Eventually, I will model smoke from biomass
burning using the model, perhaps with an inclination toward public
policy.
Meanwhile, here is a brief summary
of the transfer of heat and moisture across the air-sea interface
via bubbles and spray droplets. The summary includes a review of the
sea spray generation function.
