Work Experience

• Atmospheric data assimilation with methods like PSAS, 3DVar, EnKF and 3DEnVar;
• NMC method for the calculation of the background error covariance matrix for the Brazilian Atmospheric Model (BAM), for the sigma and hybrid vertical coordinates;
• Ensemble Forecasting using an EOF based perturbation method for the BAM model (link);
• Objective model evaluation using the SCANTEC and SCANPLOT softwares.

Outside Work

I am most interested in personal computing in general. I am a music passionate and I also play guitar.
