Interests

Camargo has evaluated the ability of Atmospheric General Circulation models (AGCMs) to simulate the real climate, its variability and teleconnections. She is exploring the use of AGCMs and regional climate models in forecasting hurricane/typhoon frequency, with emphasis on the western North Pacific Basin. She is also investigating the influence of El Niño/Southern Oscillation on tropical cyclone activity. In collaboration with the IRI Forecast Division, she is responsible for issuing experimental seasonal tropical cyclone activity forecasts in different regions of the world.

Camargo organized the Tropical Cyclones and Climate Workshop , which took place March 27-29, 2006 in Palisades, NY. Other members of the organizing committee were Kerry Emanuel (MIT), Adam Sobel (Columbia University), Lennart Bengtsson (University of Reading), Richard Murnane (Risk Prediction Initiative), Andrew Robertson (IRI), Chester Ropelewski (IRI).

Education

After obtaining a M.S. in Plasma Physics from the Physics Institute of São Paulo University in 1989, Camargo received a Ph.D. in Physics in 1992 from the Munich Technical University .
