Research Areas
- Machine learning techniques for atmospheric models
- Great Lakes weather research with coupled atmosphere-lake models: lake-effect snow storms
- Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) and variable-resolution grid techniques for the dynamical cores of atmospheric General Circulation Models (GCMs)
- High-resolution (convection-permitting) atmospheric modeling
- Non-hydrostatic and deep-atmosphere modeling with the Department of Energy Spectral Element dynamical core
- Development of simpler atmospheric models and test cases for dynamical cores of GCMs, model intercomparisons
- Impact of volcanic eruptions (Mt. Pinatubo (1991), Hunga Tonga (2022)) on the atmospheric circulation
- Atmospheric dynamics:
- Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCSs) and their interaction with the large-scale flow
- Extratropical cyclones
- Stratospheric dynamics: Assessments of the tropical Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO), Sudden Stratospheric Warmings (SSWs), the tropical water vapor tape recorder, and the Brewer-Dobson circulation
- Dynamics of tropical cyclones
- Subgrid-scale mixing in atmospheric GCMs
- Physics-dynamics coupling in GCMs
- Detection of pathways in GCMs (with a current focus on tracer advection)
