Research Interests

I am Senior Associate Scientist in CIRES, AVID GSL. I always enjoy my work and reseach. I love to work at DSRC for its beautiful environment. My hobby is hiking, reading and cleanning house to make things organized. I have a beautiful and peace family that me, my husband and kids always support and encourage each other.

Current Research

My current research focus on

1. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

  • Improve use of observational data to improve initial conditions and subsequent forecasts for the RRFS. Work shall advance the storm-scale data assimilation technique with emphasis on optimal use of radar data and accurate analysis of wind, temperature, and moisture.

2. Fire2-b: Assimilation of particulate matter (PM) observation and aerosol optical depth (AOD) data in the Rapid Refresh Forecast System

  • Preprocess observations and reformatting.
  • Perform retrospective runs to evalute inline CMAQ.

3. Evaluation of 3d-RTMA system with Vortex-SE 2022-2023 PERiLS Field Data

  • Evaluate the RRFS-RTMA using the independent Vortex-SE radar and lidar wind profiles.
