Atmospheric Science
We perform some simulation twin experiments (similar to Charney et al.
1969 experiments) in the context of future NASA Earth observing programs:
EOS PM and TRIANA for instance.
We also perform some numerical model simulations to support the TRIANA mission.
For all our experiments, we have been using the DAO GEOS GCM and the Eta model.

It is better to keep your mouth shut than to mislead
someone and then claim that you were only joking.
