Climate variability and changes
Climate variability and changes
We are interested in understanding the phenomena of the tropics, including the Madden-Julian oscillation and El Niño-Southern oscillation, as well as their interaction and how they change under global warming.

We seek to understand processes influenced on extreme climates, including wildfires, drought, and flood. We examine how these extremes respond to global warming, how fast the impact will come, and how strong it will be.

Building on current research on the cooling effects of volcanic eruptions that inject sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere, this project focuses on the hypothetical stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) technique – a potential solar geoengineering strategy designed to remediate climate change effects. We aim to investigate how climate change will be by the end of the century with SAI deployment, and how these results will differ without future climate intervention.
Our research efforts are focused on improving our understanding of climate dynamics, such as what controls rainfall in the tropics, using satellite observations and model simulations.

We use satellite observations and models to understand the role of ocean coupling to disturbances like the MJO and diurnal cycle that further impact weather and climate.
