SUMMARY
 Ph.D. in Oceanography. 28 years’ experience in working on research, operational and
environmental monitoring projects in oceanography and meteorology.
 Currently serves as IMSG’s Research Oceanographer for the Environmental Modeling Center
(EMC) of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) of NWS/NOAA.
 Expertise and broad experience in digital signal processing and statistical analysis of a wide
variety of data enables him to successfully undertake proposed projects related to data
processing and analysis.
 Substantial experience in working with a number of hydrodynamic/water quality numerical
models in both research and operation/business-oriented settings.
 Significant experience in working on modeling and data analysis projects related to global ocean
as well as regional and coastal environment.
 Effective communication, coordination, and problem solving skills.
EDUCATION
PhD, Physical Oceanography, University of Rhode Island, 2006
MS, Physical Oceanography, Massachusetts Institute of Technology/Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution, 1997
BS, Oceanography, M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, 1986
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Jul 2011-Present: Research Oceanographer, IMSG at NWS/NCEP/EMC
 Works on developing a Quality Control (QC) segment for an NCODA-based data assimilation
module for RTOFS-global (NCEP Real-Time Ocean Forecast System).
 Developed a QC module for processing Near-Real-Time (NRT) satellite and in situ significant
wave height data assimilated into NCEP operational wave models.
 Designed a procedure facilitating QC of glider data.
 Developed a system for QC of NRT Argo profiles data.
 Processed and analyzed data obtained from different sources (satellite SST and SSH; in situ
Argo, CTD, XBT/AXBT, gliders; SST analyses; ocean bathymetry; model output; etc.) for the
purposes of intercomparison of different operational models, model and data validation, as well
as monitoring of model performance.
Jun 2005-Jul 2011: Research Oceanographer, Science Applications International
Corporation (SAIC; Jun 2005 – Jun 2006 via Rotator Staffing Services, Inc.)
 Worked on a variety of data processing and analysis projects facilitating support of operational
ocean models at EMC/NCEP.
 Implemented a suit of numerical models facilitating analysis of the environmental impact of
inserting marine mammals into the Bangor Submarine Base (Hood Canal, WA). The suit
consisted of linked hydrodynamic (Princeton Ocean Model; POM) and water quality (Row
Column AESOP; RCA) numerical models as well as numerous supporting codes aiding in
preparation of input fields (model grid, forcing, etc.) and in analyzing model output. Participated
in design of CTD/ADCP (in-place and underway) surveys in the area and processed and
2
analyzed the resulting data. Validated model performance based on the observed data. Prepared
a report describing details of the model set-up and performance as well as analysis of the results.
 Developed site-specific procedures allowing for automated detection of isolated targets
(unexploded ordinance) in subbotom sonar data.
 Participated in design of an oceanographic survey for an environmental study for a strip of
Atlantic shelf off Jacksonville, FL extending from the coast to shelf break. Analyzed the
resulting as well as other relevant oceanographic and meteorological data. Provided tidal
corrections for the hydrographic survey, established tidal datums for the temporary tidal gauges,
and completed tidal correction computations. Developed site-specific procedures allowing for
automated detection of isolated targets (for instance, large rocks embedded in relatively soft
material) as well as continuous layers (distinct geologic strata) in subbotom sonar data.
 For the purposes of environmental monitoring within the King’s Bay Submarine Base (GA),
processed and analyzed ADCP and tidal gauge data, as well as wind data and historic hurricane
trajectories. Described the structure and dynamics of tides as well as overall circulation in the
bay. Detailed wind conditions and estimated parameters of the wind waves.
 Examined data (underway ADCP; various drifters; moored buoy measurements of atmospheric
and oceanographic parameters) for the US Coast Guard sponsored leeway study (off
Newfoundland). The project aimed to improve search and rescue capabilities of the Coast Guard
by providing statistical relationships between wind and the resulting movement of different kind
of drifters.
 Processed data from temporary tidal gauges at Poplar Island (MD) and Historic Area
Remediation Site (NJ) with the goal of establishing tidal datums at the gauges for the current
tidal epoch.
 To facilitate environmental monitoring within navigable areas of port of Los Angeles and port
of Baltimore processed and analyzed meteorological and oceanographic data obtained from
moored and underway ADCP(s), buoy moorings and tidal stations with the goal of describing
the nature and structure of circulation in the areas.
Sep 1997 – Dec 2006: Graduate Student/Research Assistant, Graduate School of
Oceanography, University of Rhode Island
 Developed methodology to describe properties of the observed (based on satellite data) Rossby
waves in the North Atlantic as well as to relate distribution of nutrients in ocean surface layers
to the action of the waves.
 Developed a method of analysis of two-dimensional data based on the Empirical Mode
Decomposition, which allows for a more efficient description of data associated with nonlinear
nonstationary processes. The method was used to analyze large scale fluctuations of the Gulf
Stream path, a major aspect of climate variability in the North Atlantic region.
 Received an advanced training in data processing from the departments of Electrical and Ocean
Engineering (e.g., estimation theory, detection theory and applications, modern spectral
analysis, digital image processing, linear and nonlinear programming, digital filter design)
Jun 1994 – Aug 1997: Graduate Student/Research Assistant, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology/Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
 Conducted coastal dynamics research based on numerical modeling (Sigma coordinate
Primitive Equation Model; SPEM).
Feb 1993 – May 1993: Guest Investigator, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
3
 Adopted a numerical model to analyze structure and dynamics of currents in a coastal upwelling
region.
Aug 1988 – May 1994: Multiple Positions, Marine Hydrophysical Institution (MHI;
Sevastopol, Ukraine)
 Analyzed the shelf circulation off the Crimea peninsula (Black Sea) for the needs of oil/gas
exploration.
 Participated in design and implementation of a number of field experiments in the shelf zone of
the Black Sea.
 Adopted a numerical model (MHI Quasi-Isopycnic Model) to analyze and monitor circulation
in coastal regions.
Aug 1986 – Jul 1988: Operational Weather Forecaster, USSR Air Forces
 Provided operational weather forecast for the purposes of aviation.
 Trained and guided teams of observers.
