Research interests

Mesoscale Dynamics: focusing on studying the generalized potential vorticity theory, especially, moist potential vorticity and non-uniform staturated potential vorticity closely linking with torrential rain events and severe storms.
Numerical simulation: mainly targeting to study the relationship between the dymanic tracers and hydrometers in the clouds , and precipitation by using cloud- resolving model.
Wave-meanflow interaction: studying the generalized E-P flux , A-B hybrid equation method for inverstigating the feedback of the meanflow change to waves. And wave action conservation in the mesoscale fields.

Ongoing Projects

Decadal Variability of the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
Low-High Latitude Climate Teleconnection
Ocean Tracer Simulation and oceanic uptake of CO2
