The goal of our research is to use observations, in conjunction with models, to better understand large-scale atmospheric and oceanic variability. Current research areas include: modeling the effect of aerosols on tropical ocean temperatures, understanding the large-scale processes that control year-to-year Indian Ocean tropical cyclone variability, detecting long-term changes in cloud cover using observational records, and modeling the surface and subsurface ocean temperature response to seasonal hurricane activity.

There is an immediate opening for a postdoctoral scientist to study the effects of seasonal Atlantic tropical cyclone activity on regional surface and subsurface temperatures using the MIT Ocean GCM. The main goal of this project is to quantify the spatial characteristics of storm-forced temperature anomalies on seasonal to decadal time scales. However, the postdoctoral scientist is also expected to develop related, independent lines of research. Please email Professor Amato Evan (aevan at virginia.edu) for more information about the position and how to apply.
There is an opening for graduate students to work in the areas of aerosols or tropical cyclones and climate. Please email Professor Amato Evan (aevan at virginia.edu) for more information about the position and how to apply.
Undergraduates interested in research experience should email me to set up a time to talk about opportunities within our lab.
