Large-Scale Ocean Circulation, Atmosphere-Ocean Coupling, Climate Change
Dr. Kelly's primary scientific interest is in the application of large data sets, particularly from satellite sensors, to problems of climate, atmosphere-ocean interaction and ocean circulation. She works in collaboration with numerical modelers and scientists who make in situ measurements to better understand the ocean and to improve the quality of the satellite data. She has been a member of the science teams for the NASA scatterometer (NSCAT) and the TOPEX/POSEIDON altimeter and has served on NASA science advisory committees.
She advises graduate students and teaches classes on combining data and models in physical oceanography, which is a hands-on introduction to principal component methods, inverse theory, and data assimilation. Dr. Kelly joined the Laboratory in 1996.
