She is responsible for overseeing data management, processing, and quality control activities. Her research focuses on the synergistic use of multiplatform data—including satellite data, ocean models, and in-situ observations—to study ocean dynamics and develop high-value services and products for public use, prioritizing support for naval maritime operations. Recently, she has been the lead scientist on a Sentinel-3 Validation Team project, aimed at developing an operational service for near real-time comparison between satellite-derived sea surface temperatures and in-situ data collected by IH’s monitoring service.
