Research Interests

• Ocean and Climate Variability

• Ocean-atmosphere interaction

• Global sea level change

• Data analysis method in Physical Oceanography and Climate

Achievements

• Identify the Atlantic heat sink can explain global warming slowdown during 1998-2012

• Suggest that the role of AMOC on the global climate variability is different with or without surface anthropogenic warming;

• Propose a pair of orthogonal PDO and ENSO indices, identify the independence between PDO and ENSO
