Research Interests

Climate and Global Change:

• Changes in precipitation, cloudiness, droughts, river run-off, diurnal temperature range, etc.
• Analyses of global climate model (GCM) simulations
• Diagnosis of GCM deficiencies
• ENSO-induced climate variations

• Tidal variations in surface pressure fields
• Diurnal variations in winds and divergence
• Diurnal variations in precipitation, cloudiness, and convection

Climate-Biosphere Interaction:

• Climatic impacts on the global carbon cycle
• Trace gases (CO2, CH4, etc.) emissions
