- Quantified the likelihood of record-breaking global temperature during an El Nino event under different emission scenarios in the 21st Century with multi-model ensemble statistics derived from Coupled Model Intercomparison Projects (CMIP3, CMIP5, and CMIP6) (published on
Environmental Research Letters).
- Validated the ocean model performance across different time scales in the OMIPI & OMIPII setup with a focus on GFDL/OM4 model output (published on
Geoscientific Model Development).
- Developed the diagnostic tools for climate model validation in
tropical Pacific sea level
and
tropical ocean surface flux
.
- Proficiency with various remote sensing data including GRACE, Altimetry, Landsat satellite imagery for extracting the useful physical signals like water/ice mass changes in land hydrology, cryosphere, and ocean.
- Optimized and tested the simulation of mesoscale atmospheric convection by combining different numerical methods and by introducing parallel computing.
- Classified the hurricane/typhoon based on rainfall events and tracks in the southwest Pacific area in the past 40 years and further project the possible future changes through multivariate regression.
