PhD Student – Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen

I am a PhD-student working primarily with ADCP data analysis from the Nuka Arctica research project.
Data from XBT's, a thermosalinograph and satellite altimetry are also analyzed for the studies of ocean circulation in the North Atlantic.
Tools: Matlab, CODAS, ODV, Windows, Unix
