Research Interests
Numerical simulation and dynamical theory of precipitating convection, its multi-scale organization, and cross-scale interaction; parameterization of convective organization in global models; dynamical mechanisms associated with the atmospheric water and energy cycles; convection-wave interaction in the Tropics with emphasis on the Madden-Julian Oscillation(MJO); tropical-midlatitude interaction associated with THe Operational Research and Predictability EXperiment(THORPEX); collaboration with various international programs.
