Biography:

My research focus on limited area data assimilation and modeling. Currently I'm develping a WRF-EnKF real-time hurricane analyses and forecasting system with NOAA P-3 airborne radar observation assimilation with the corporation of HRD under the support of NOAA Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project (HFIP), the project of the PRE-Depression Investigation of Cloud-systems in the Tropics, NSF and TACC. This system had being operated in real-time since the middle of 2008 Atlantic hurricane season on TACC's supercomputer.
