Yadidya Badarvada

Yadidya Badarvada is a Research Fellow at the University of Michigan's Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, working with Professor Brian Arbic. His research focuses on physical oceanography, particularly internal wave dynamics and satellite oceanography applications.

His research investigates internal tide prediction using global ocean models, geostrophic motion decomposition through satellite altimetry, and climate impacts on wave activity. Recent work emphasizes the Andaman Sea's internal tide variability and their connections to climate phenomena like the Indian Ocean Dipole.

Key methodologies in his work include:

• Dynamic-Mode Decomposition of SWOT altimetry data
• HYCOM ensemble simulations for uncertainty quantification
• Climate projection analysis of internal waves
• Field observations and model validation in the Arabian and Andaman Seas
