- Characterized wave conditions for idealized storm experiments using wave model SWAN to investigate the asymmetric feature of upper ocean responses impacted by surface waves.

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

· Investigated the effects of surface wave on the upper ocean in response to fast-moving storms, using glider/mooring observations and General Ocean Turbulence Model (GOTM) simulations.· Improved the performance of GOTM by adding surface wave effects, such as Langmuir circulation, wave breaking, and Coriolis-Stokes force.· Characterized wave conditions in idealized storm experiments using SWAN wave model to investigate the asymmetric features in the upper ocean response, as generated by surface waves.· Optimized the simulation of Stokes drift profiles using full directional spectra for surface waves within the coupled ROMS-SWAN modelling system.

Halifax, Canada Area

· Evaluated the performance of computer models from CMIP5 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5) in simulating the wind power input (WPI) to the general oceanic circulation.· Compared WPI estimates from the 16 CMIP5 models, to the reference WPI as calculated with high-quality reanalysis data (CFSR) and satellite data (AVISO). Quantified model biases using statistical techniques. · Worked as a supercomputer technician, to conduct numerical model tests on supercomputer platforms (e.g., Compute Canada) and optimize CPU resources using shell scripts in the Linux environment. Collected, processed, analyzed, and visualized observational and ocean modeling data to support several research projects pursued by the team.

Qingdao, Shandong, China
