William Dewar is experienced in regional ocean modeling and downscaling, with an emphasis on interactions with complex topography and air-sea interactions. He is also experienced the application of theoretical fluid dynamics to realistic ocean simulations. He has published work on the role of topographic anomalies in the ocean and explored the catalytic role of topography in generating submesoscale structures. Dr. Dewar is the lead investigator on a multi-institutional NSF-funded earth systems modeling effort to understand and remove the causes of biases in climate models.
