Dr. B. P. Kirtman, Ph.D., University of Maryland, 1992
Associate Research Scientist, COLA
Associate Professor of Climate Dynamics, George Mason University

Dr. Kirtman is working on the development of simple and complex coupled ocean atmosphere general circulation models which are used to investigate the predictability of the coupled system on interannual
and intraseasonal time scales, to study the influence of tropical predictability on mid-latitude predictability and to assess how the annual cycle affects intraseasonal and interannual predictability.
Current areas of interest include: El Nino prediction, dynamics and low frequency variations; impact of atmospheric stochastic forcing on coupled climate variability; El Nino-Monsoon interactions; and the maintenance of the inter-tropical convergence zone.
