M. Jeroen Molemaker is an Associate Research Professor at UCLA (Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography from the University of Utrecht, the Netherlands, with Dr. H.A. Dijkstra and Dr. W.P.M. de Ruijter as co-advisers). With Professor McWilliams, he has pioneered in the study of sub-mesoscale flows in oceanography. The realistic, high-resolutions simulation that are computed at UCLA have changed the way people perceive dynamics at scales below the mesoscale. In ad- dition to numerical simulations of sub-mesoscale flow, Dr. Molemaker has, together with Dr. B. Baschek pioneered a coordinated set of observational platforms that are dedicated to observing submesoscales.
