Federica Borile is a researcher in oceanography with a background in numerical modeling and the study of ocean circulation. She carried out her academic research at the University of Bologna (UNIBO). Her PhD research focused on the role of tidal processes in the ocean overturning circulation, while her postdoctoral work investigated sea level variability at decadal scales in the Mediterranean Sea. Her present activity at the CMCC, in the Regional Ocean Forecasting Systems division, concerns her contribution to the next Mediterranean reanalysis and the improvement of the Mediterranean and Black Seas model setups through new parameterizations for internal waves.
