Our research lies broadly at the intersection of weather and climate, integrating synoptic meteorology and climate dynamics. I seek to understand how atmospheric processes interact across scales to shape weather and climate in midlatitudes.
The overarching research questions are:
How do synoptic weather systems and planetary-scale circulation conspire to produce extreme events?
How do moist processes occurring in weather systems modify the extratropical circulation?
How could the extratropical atmosphere be understood through a weather–climate continuum?
To address these questions, we are interested in the following themes:
1. Synoptic Weather Systems
Atmospheric rivers, Extratropical cyclones, and Extratropical transition of tropical cyclones
2. Large-Scale Atmospheric Circulation
Storm tracks, Westerly jet, and Low-frequency flow regimes
3. Weather and Climate Extremes
Heavy precipitation, Asian monsoon extremes, Subarctic Extremes, and Multiscale hierarchy of extreme events
