Background

About Yolande Serra

With over two decades of experience in the atmospheric and ocean sciences, my mission as a Senior Research Scientist is to advance our understanding of the physical processes governing interactions of the ocean and atmosphere that impact weather patterns and weather systems primarily in the Tropics. I have been fully grant funded for 25+ years, and thus bring ample grant and paper writing, project management, budget planning, and personnel management to my projects. Additional core competencies I bring to my collaborations include careful and creative research approaches, diligent data collection and field experience, and a commitment to open science.In my current role with the University of Washington's Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean and Ecosystem Studies, I work closely with NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory Ocean Climate Stations group. Leveraging skills in grant writing, research and data analysis, our team contributes to a sustainable future for climate monitoring and continued growth in our understanding of the global climate system.
