Multiscale and Moist Dynamics of the Extratropical Atmosphere

We seek to understand how atmospheric circulations interact across scales to shape extratropical weather and climate. At the intersection of weather and climate, our research naturally integrates synoptic meteorology with large-scale climate dynamics. The specific topics of interest include:

• Synoptic Weather Systems: Atmospheric rivers, Extratropical cyclones, Extratropical transition

• Large-Scale Atmospheric Dynamics: Storm tracks, Westerly jet, Low-frequency variability

• Extratropical Moist Dynamics: Moist baroclinic development, Eddy-latent heating coupling

• Weather and Climate Extremes: Heavy precipitation
