From March 15th to April 11th, 2017, a team of oceanographers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography were on the R/P FLIP to study and observe Langmuir circulations generated by the wind and waves at the surface of the ocean. Here are some photos to share with you our experience on the R/P FLIP during...
I took this photo in the Strait of Luzon in 2013 looking at the Island of Bataan and the wake of clouds generated from it. Flows over topography are known to generate turbulence. Thankfully, these clouds allowed us to visualize the turbulence that nature can generate. For size comparison, try to see if you can...

On 18th July, I had the opportunity to spend 10 days with other oceanographers on the Research Platform FLIP (https://scripps.ucsd.edu/ships/flip) for a test cruise to study the Langmuir circulation and the near-surface processes. Spending time on FLIP is like living in a large tree house in the middle of the ocean. Even though there were large...

This is our first 2016 Cook-A-Meal event at the Ronald McDonald House. It was a very fun and meaningful event to celebrate the joy of Lunar New Year with the people here.
Walking through the some neighborhood of Chennai, India, I have learned that the freshest source of water is delivered by trucks because the ground water there is mildly salty. It seemed like the people here are strongly dependent on the fresh water delivered by these trucks.
We celebrated our 2nd anniversary of the Inter Compassion Charities, Inc. cooking at the Cook-A-Meal event at the Ronald McDonald House in San Diego. It has been a wonderful experience cooking with great friends in the group.
