My research involves the development and application of aerosols modeling to better understand their direct and indirect effects on climate. My current work includes the implementation of on-line aerosols in the GFDL coupled models, and its evaluation by comparing aerosol properties with ground-based and satellite data. My current research is focusing on the interactions of aerosol with radiation, clouds, and vegetation.
Research Activities
- Study the aerosols direct and indirect effects on climate using GFDL climate model and observations.
- Model development at GFDL: implementation of on-line aerosols in the GFDL Atmospheric Model (AM3), and its evaluation by comparing aerosol properties with ground-based and satellite data.
- Inventory of Dust sources: development of global inventory of dust sources using satellite data. Participation to GEIA-ACCENT .
- Intercomparison of Aerosol Models: Participation to AEROCOM
Teaching Activities
- Spring 2008 AOS 580 Special topics :
Aerosol, Cloud and
Climate Change . The course is articulate around our present understanding
of the effects of aerosols on climate which is synthesized in
IPCC-IV Chapter 2 . The prerequisite is essentially to be senior or higher
and a willingness to learn science.
- 2005-2007: Lectures on Aerosol Modeling and Observations within AOS-527 class on Atmospheric Radiative Transfer
