RESEARCHING EXPERIENCE
a) Research Activity
Research interests cover a broad
range topics on the dynamics of large-scale atmosphere and
ocean circulations as well as the climate variability,
such as dynamics of ENSO (El Niño-Southern Oscillation),
dynamics for climate variability in the extratropical
atmospheric circulation, low-frequency modes of tropical
ocean, dynamics of ocean gyre circulation, atmospheric
teleconnection, theories for Pacific decadal variability
etc. The primary
research activity has
been focused on two areas: (i) understanding the dynamics
of ENSO, (ii) the dynamics for climate variability in the
extratropical atmospheric circulation and (iii) dynamics
global warming.
b) Academic Services
In
addition to the academic service within University of
Hawaii, services to the research community at large
include serving as one of co-conveners of sessions in EGU
(2003-2008) and AGU (2008), and serving as AMS air-sea
interaction committee (2004-2009), reviewing manuscripts
from various journal in the field and proposals for
national agencies in the relevant fields, serving as
co-chair for Science Advisory Committee of Open Lab of
Nation Climate Center of China.
