My main duties in COAPS are 1) to develop downscaling techniques relevant for regional prediction of surface temperature and precipitation over the southeast United States. I have developed statistical downscaling technique using eigentechnique, multiple regression, and stochastic time series generation. Dynamical downscaling method has been also developed by the FSU/COAPS regional spectral model. A series of evaluations reveal that our downscaling techniques produce the reasonable seasonal forecasts over local areas of the southeast United States. This techniques can be reliably applied to other geographical areas. Another main duty is 2) to validate the atmospheric variables simulated from the FSU/COAPS global and regional spectral model. Several statistical analysis techniques are applied to evaluate the performance of the FSU/COAPS models.

My major research areas which I have got involved in include:

Downscaling of surface temperature and precipitation from the global model runs
Analysis on climate variability of atmosphere and ocean variables
Climate prediction of monsoon precipitation, surface temperature and ENSO
Impact of land-cover type on long-term surface temperature change
Hurricane detection work from the numerical model output
