I am working at Department of Meteorology,
Stockholm University (MISU). My research
is mainly theoretical model development. I use models in combination with observations
to study various phenomena. The studies have lead to model developments, both
writing of new submodels and adapting existing models. My doctoral thesis was
environmental modeling of the air quality in Athens, Greece. My post-doctoral
period in John Seinfeld’s group at CALTECH was devoted
to modeling of boundary layer clouds, concerning both the cloud microphysic and
the turbulence produced by clouds these clouds. Modeling the stably stratified
boundary layer, especially the Arctic boundary layer, interests me. My current
research projects concern global climate models and how these small-scale
processes are described in them and is done in collaboration with the Climate and Global Dynamics division at NCAR.
I am co-chair of the GEWEX Atmospheric
Boundary Layer Study GABLS.
My main interests, beside my
family and atmospheric sciences, are music, gardening and handicraft. The main
theme in music is singing in the Cathedral choir in Uppsala (Uppsala Domkyrkokör). My husband Michael Tjernström (who
also works at MISU) and I live in a house in Uppsala together with our
daughter Johanna born in 2000.
Current PhD students: Jenny Lindvall, Jenny Lundén, Jonas Mortin and Raza
Ranjha.
Past PhD students:
Thorsten
Mauritsen currently at Max Planck Institute
for Meteorology, Hamburg, Germany.
Johannes Karlsson, currently at Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena,
California, USA.
