Weather and Atmospheric Dynamics
Improve our understanding of atmospheric circulations ranging in scale from hurricanes to extratropical storms and the general circulation, with an emphasis on extreme weather events and the interplay between weather phenomena and climate variability and change, using comprehensive high resolution atmospheric modeling and idealized dynamical studies.
Current Research Topics
Hurricane ModelingInvestigate hurricane sensitivity to climate change using a variety of tools, including global models, regional models, and the GFDL hurricane forecast system. Continue to improve the GFDL hurricane forecast system and its operational implementations.
