Research interest

Global structure of atmospheric wave phenomena

Tidal, Rossby and mesoscale waves and their impacts in the upper atmosphere
Energy transfer from the large-scale flow to the mesoscale wave regime
Low-frequency (near-inertial) waves in the upper atmosphere
Free Rossby waves and forced Rossby waves of mesoscale origin

Middle and upper atmosphere global modeling

Idealized whole atmosphere general circulation modeling
Global whole atmosphere and chemical simulations using WACCM (or WACCM-X)
Top-down effects of solar-cycle UV variations on climate variability
Roles of atmospheric wave dynamics in the top-down effects

Dynamical processes and numerics in global atmospheric models

Spherical harmonic (SI-SL) or spectral element dynamical core
Horizontally structured (lat-long) or unstructured (cubed-sphere) grid
Vertical grid structure, internally-generated QBO, and energy spectra
Efficient parallel computation and communication
