Stephen Outten is an atmospheric scientist. He obtained his PhD at the University of East Anglia (U.K.) in 2010, focusing on the dynamics of extreme wind jets around Greenland.<\/p>\n
Outten has developed a diverse portfolio of expertise in climate dynamics \u2013 how processes in the atmosphere change over time and affect both weather and climate. He has researched large-scale teleconnections between the Arctic and mid-latitudes, as well as extreme wind impacts across Europe on a local scale. Another field he has been active in is multi-decadal variability in global heat transport. He has also been modelling the role of natural (e.g., volcanic) and anthropogenic forcings in the climate system. A common thread in his diverse studies has been the understanding of local-scale, often extreme, events and how these are controlled and shaped by large-scale atmospheric dynamics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1897,"template":"","class_list":["post-4125","employee","type-employee","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nersc.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/employee\/4125","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nersc.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/employee"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nersc.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/employee"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nersc.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nersc.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
