Direction:

Mesoscale Dynamics: focusing on studying the generalized potential vorticity theory, especially, moist potential vorticity and non-uniform staturated potential vorticity closely linking with torrential rain events and severe storms. Numerical simulation: mainly targeting to study the relationship between the dymanic tracers and hydrometers in the clouds , and precipitation by using cloud- resolving model. Wave-meanflow interaction: studying the generalized E-P flux , A-B hybrid equation method for inverstigating the feedback of the meanflow change to waves.
