General Interests
Earth's Water and Energy cycles, global and regional climate variations, extreme weather, planetary boundary layer, land-atmospehre interactions, influence of data in reanalysis, Earth system models and the observations needed to improve them
Global and Regional Water and Energy Cycles
Water is the key ingredient for life, and energy is what drives weather, climate and change. Observing and modeling these processes have improved greatly in recent decade, New observations, their assimilation in reanalyses and improved models will contribute to attaining further improvements.
National Climate Assessment
Reanalyses have become a key role for the GMAO. These data are likewise well used in the research community. They also have numerous potential benefits for end users, such as resource managers and decision makers. With the US emphasis on sustained development of a National Climate Assessment, we aim to provide support to a broad range of the community regarding use of reanalyses in US climate assessment.
Reanalysis Uncertainty
Atmospheric reanalyses assimilate numerous observational sources with global models. The resulting state fields are a representation of the Earth's actual weather and climate, yet different reanalyses can produce different results. The assimilated observations and models each have bias and error which translate into uncertainty in the reanalysis fields. Characterizing this uncertainty will help refine the reanalyses and also identify to researchers using reanalyses the reliability of the results of their experiments. Such uncertainty estimates for reanalyses are not routinely available.
NEWS Regional Water Cycle Study
Evaluate and explain the MERRA reanalysis representaiton of hte US regiona lwater cycle. With more understanding, apply to regions with minimal observations, such as Africa (in collaboration with SERVIR).
Reanalysis Synthesis of EOS Observations to support the National
Climate Assessment
Collaborate with NCA to bring new diagnostics, enhanced diagnostics and reanalyses data to bear on issues relating to the ongoing National Climate Assessment.

I gained interest in the weather from a 9th grade Earth science class. While studying meteorology in college, became pasionate about numerical prediction which applies computers and code to emulate the weather. Now I work with reanalyses which attempts to bring out the best of models and observations of weather and climate. I aim to learn about the interactions of the Earth system through observations and models.
