My research focuses on advancing tropical cyclone prediction through data assimilation and examining the fundamental limits of atmospheric predictability.
Tropical Cyclone Data Assimilation
Development of the HEDAS system and advanced vortex initialization techniques.
Radar Data Assimilation
Collaborative work on assimilating high-resolution radar observations for convective storms.
Parameter Estimation
Techniques for simultaneously estimating atmospheric states and model parameters to reduce error.
Predictability & Dynamics
Theoretical work on error growth, chaos, and the limits of prediction using the Logistic Map.
