Scientist
Research, Earth System Predictability, Extended Range
Summary:
Bianca joined ECMWF in 2025 as a Scientist within the European projects EERIE and ASPECT. She is currently investigating how large-scale variability and tropical-extratropical atmospheric teleconnections are represented in different models.
She previously worked on Antarctic sea ice variability and is still passionate about the topic.
