Biography:

Dr. Andrea Molod worked in the GMSB/DAO/GMAO from 1985-2003 participating in the development of the physical parameterizations in the atmospheric GCM, with special focus on convection, turbulence, and land surface parameterizations. She received her Ph.D. in Atmospheric Dynamics from the department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Johns Hopkins University in 2003, doing research involving GCM simulation of turbulence over heterogeneous terrain. During her post-doctoral research appointment at MIT's department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, Dr. Molod developed a new flexible technique for the interactions between different elements of a GCM, and continues her work on land-atmosphere interactions. She rejoined the GMAO in December of 2007, and is focusing her model development efforts on turbulent and convective transport.
