Jasper joined ECMWF in 2022 as part of the Destination Earth Project. His background is in land-atmosphere interactions and his work at the ECMWF focusses on improving land initial conditions for high-resolution weather simulations and developing land-atmosphere coupling-strength diagnostics.
- Land surface modelling
- Developing diagnostics for validation and statistical analysis of high-resolution model output
- Land-atmosphere interactions, water vs. energy limitation, terrestrial evaporation, soil moisture.
