About

Hey, my name is Florian and I am working as a Postdoc at the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde. I studied engineering physics with a focus on computer-oriented physics. In my work, I focus on the long-term variability in the Baltic Sea. This helps to understand changes within the Baltic Sea ecosystem. At our institute, we use numerical models of the ocean to answer these questions. Therefore, I would call myself a computational oceanographer.

Interests

• climate variability and climate sensitivity of the North Atlantic
• coupled physical-biogeochemical modeling to study the marine ecosystem in past climates
• teleconnections between the North Atlantic and Northern Europe
• Long-term trends in the Baltic Sea

Regression of SST anomalies onto the AMV

Methods

• Data handling
• Multi regression analysis for data prediction
• Wavelet analysis
• Low-frequency component analysis/li>
• Cluster analysis
• EOF
