Research Interests

Climate dynamics Laboratory in Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology is leading the world in theoretical studies of Extratropics to Tropics Teleconnection based on energetic framework.Recently, we organized the global  project, Extratropical-Tropical interaction Model inter-Comparison Project (ETIN-MIP) and intimately involved in developing our scientific finding, relying on the role of ocean dynamics by using the hierarchy of climate model.For a decade, over 30 SCI papers related with atmospheric dynamics, climate change, ITCZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone), projection of tropical temperature, and polar amplification are published.The growing risk of climate change permeated the whole globe and one local climate change can affect other regions, for instance, the air pollution in East Asia can induce the severe drought in Africa. Therefore, CDL actively collaborates with international climate study groups and institution, such as U.S., Canada, China, Japan, and Taiwan.
