The Analysis, Numerical Simulation, and Diagnosis of Extratropical Weather Systems

Abstract

My long-term goal is to contribute to the advancement of the observation, structural analysis dynamical diagnosis and numerical prediction of the life cycles of planetary-scale, synoptic-scale and mesoscale weather systems, including the influence of inter-annual and intra-seasonal climate variability on their evolution. These weather systems include: oceanic and land-falling cyclones, fronts and their associated cloud, wind, and precipitation systems; upper-level jet streams and clear-air turbulence, extreme orographic flows and their interactions with the ocean.
