Research Highlights

Liouville Dynamics

Machine Learning & Weather

Proposing a proof-of-concept of generating infinity ensemble members by combining machine learning and statistical mechanics.

Tropical Waves

Convective Coupled Waves

Using idealized GCM simulations, Satellite Observation and Radiative Transfer. We explore the hierarchical transition of the tropical wave regimes.

MJO Model

MJO Moisture Dynamics

Providing a framework to bridge the gap between existing MJO theory and its prediction/predictability.

Turbulence

2D/3D Turbulence

Investigating the characteristics of unlimited/limited predictability of 2D/3D turbulence to optimize numerical weather forecasts.

Annular Mode

Annular Mode Variability

Using a hierarchical modeling framework to investigate mechanisms responsible for the over-persistent bias of annular modes in GCMs.

WNPSH

Subtropical High Predictability

Using Causal Discovery methods and dynamical system analysis to study the intrinsic predictability limits of the Western North Pacific Subtropical High.
