Research Highlights

Hail interannual variability and contributing factors

Hail poses a significant threat to economy and properties in the central United States. We have been investigating the severe hail characteristics over the central United States and possible meteorological factors contributing to the severe hail variability.

Mesoscale Convective Systems related to Extreme rainfall

These studies focused on the understanding of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs), which caused extreme precipitation over the urban region. I used the ground-based Doppler radar to understand a slow-moving MCS and the processes supporting heavy rainfall.

Radar meteorology (retrieved wind field, rainfall estimation, and microphysical retrieval)

I have investigated the internal kinematic structure of convective cells using dual-Doppler radar analysis based on the variational method. I contributed to developing algorithms for the cloud microphysics using Ka-band cloud radar. I had proposed the reflectivity-liquid water content (Z-LWC) relationships by comparing cloud radar and microwave radiometer. This study further conducted the rain-rate estimation using the signal attenuation.
