WRF modeling

I work closely with my colleague, Dr. Jonathan Jiang, to study interactions among aerosols, clouds, water vapor and precipitation. Besides analyzing satellite data, we plan to expand our work to use the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model. Combining multi-satellite observations, we can obtain correlations between various measurements; however, the causal relationships can not be easily determined. Thus, we are going to use a dynamic model with interactive aerosol-cloud module to study the physical mechanisms that contribute to the observed aerosol-cloud-precipitation relations. We are looking for a postdoc to conduct WRF simulations. This will be a new research area and I am excited to revisit meso-scale modeling world, as I did in my Ph.D. study.
