Research Interests

• Understanding of the interaction between the ocean and tropical cyclones using numerical simulation models
• Developing a new movable nested mesh model. Nested-mesh numerical models have in recent years become useful research and operational tools for simulating mesoscale meteorological and oceanic phenomena in the large-scale environment.
• Investigating the motion and evolution of binary tropical cyclones using a coupled tropical cyclone-ocean movable nested grid model.
• The effects of a topographic slope on nonlinear evolution of a local perturbation in a Gulf Stream-type baroclinic jet.
