Multiscale and Moist Dynamics of the Extratropical Atmosphere
We seek to understand how atmospheric circulations interact across scales to shape extratropical weather and climate in the presence of the moist diabatic process. At the intersection of weather and climate, our research naturally integrates synoptic meteorology with large-scale climate dynamics to deal with two overarching research questions:
(1) How do synoptic weather systems interact with planetary-scale circulation to cause extreme events?
(2) How does condensational heating shape extratropical weather and climate?
We investigate the following specific topics and try to build an integrated understanding of their interactions and collective roles in the extratropical atmosphere.
High-Impact Weather Systems: Atmospheric rivers, Extratropical cyclones, Extratropical transition, Mesoscale convective systems
Large-Scale Atmospheric Dynamics: Storm tracks, Westerly jets, Low-frequency extratropical variability
Moist Atmospheric Dynamics: Moist baroclinic development, Eddy-latent heating coupling
