Research Interests:(研究方向)
Research interests include ocean modeling, tropical ocean-atmosphere coupling, data assimilation, interanuual and decadal ocean variability, the interactions between the tropics and subtropics in the ocean, and ocean-related feedback parameterizations. A suite of coupled tropical ocean-atmosphere models developed for El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the tropical Pacific; novel approaches to use satellite data for climate modeling; an intermediate coupled ocean-atmosphere model (known as IOCAS ICM) which has been used for routine ENSO prediction; and a hybrid coupled model (HCM) of atmosphere and ocean physics and biogeochemistry to represent biogeophysical feedback effects in the tropical Pacific.
