Research Fields:

In general:

• Atmospheric modelling
• Scale interaction processes
• Turbulent dynamics
• Land-atmosphere exchange processes
• Terrestrial hydrology

In particular:

• Further development of coupled atmospheric hydrological modelling system (based on WRF-Hydro)
• Land-atmosphere feedback mechanisms
• Role of soil moisture on convective precipitation
• Tropical cyclogenesis in the Cape Verde Islands region
• Mountain wave in polar region
