Research Topics

The COastal Meteorological And Prediction (COMAP) group focuses on improving the understanding and forecasting of extreme weather in the coastal margins of North America. The group investigates severe convective storms, extratropical and tropical storms, low-level jets and sea breezes, precipitation bands and microphysics, orographic flows, and heavy precipitation using conventional data, field observations, and numerical models (e.g., Weather Research and Forecasting). The WRF is also nested within global climate models to understand how extreme weather may change during the next century. He also utilizes high-resolution atmosphere and ocean models for storm surge, fire weather, and offshore wind power resource assessments and forecasting.
