Research FocusAs a member of the Climate Diagnostics Group, I work in collaboration with Dr. N.-C. "Gabriel" Lau on various research projects to investigate the atmosphere-ocean interaction impact on climate maintenance using observations and computer model simulation data.

CURRENT PROJECTS |
|
Climate Research - Atmosphere/Ocean InteractionsDesign and analyze new model experiments aimed at delineating the mechanisms responsible for linking ocean-atmosphere variability in different parts of the globe. Diagnose the principal modes of coupled variability in different ocean basins on interannual and interdecadal time scales using output from existing and future model simulations (including IPCC runs). |
|
Climate Research - ENSO processesIdentify processes contributing to formation of zonally symmetric mid-latitude paressure ridges follwing warm ENSO events Study the factors contributing to formation of the anomalous anticyclone over the subtropical western North Pacific during the mature phase of warm ENSO episodes Prepare manuscripts for publication based on finding of the above research projects |
|
Model Infrastructure DevelopmentProvide some programming support for developing software tools for visualizing and evaluating output from GFDL's FMS model. |
