Summary of Research Interests

Understanding (1) the lifecycle evolution of tropical cyclones, and (2) their role in the climate system are the main foci of my research.

(i) extratropical [and subtropical] transition of tropical cyclones:

Hurricane Danielle (1998) (Robert Hart);

Hurricane Irene (1999) (Barbara Mayes);

QPF assessment for operational models (Dave Robertson);

Hurricane Michael (2000).

(ii) development and applications of the cyclone phase space (with Robert Hart);

analysis of phase space structure and synoptic climatology (with Justin Arnott);

realtime global phase space analysis for operational models applied to tropical storm forecasting;

evaluation of genesis forecast skill of operational models (Aaron Pratt?);

development of a definition and climatology of subtropical cyclones (with Mark Guishard).

(iii) realtime simulation of tropical cyclones (with many collaborators in the Department of Meteorology);

(iv) interannual variability of tropical cyclones/tropical cyclogenesis (Robert Hart).

(v) climatological variation of organized tropical convection (George Tsakraklides); and

(vi) representation of the ITCZ and western Pacific monsoon in GCM (Steven Chan)
