RESEARCH
Tropical Cyclones
Extreme events have a profound impact on society. We have developed a novel weather generator: IMAGE. We are using observations and fully coupled ocean-atmosphere- wave models (WRF_ROMS_SWAN) to understand the physical processes of tropical cyclones. A global stochastic model of tropical cyclones for risk assessment is being developed. We produce seasonal forecasts of West Pacific typhoons.
