Research “The emphasis on observation opens special avenues to discovery. Discoveries, it seems, can be forced to occur in the future, as they often have in the past, by the deliberate making of observations of new phenomena or new frontiers.” (from "The Incomplete Guide to the Art of Discovery" by Jack. E. Oliver, Professor Emeritus at Cornell University) Current research projects: 1) Cloud response to sea ice loss and its impact on climate feedbacks 2) Relationship between Arctic and global climate change and variability 3) Dynamic and thermodynamic processes controlling Southern Ocean climate feedbacks 4) Precipitation-cloud-aerosol interactions in a warming Arctic 5) Glacier wastage on Kerguelen Island (with LGGE) 6) Antarctic precipitation from spaceborne radar (with LGGE) Research tools/datasets used by the Kay Group: 1) CloudSat and CALIPSO spaceborne radar and lidar (cloud fraction dataset) 2) CESM including especially the CESM(CAM5) Large Ensemble Community Project 3) CFMIP Observational Simulator Package (COSP) in CESM |
