I graduated in 2018 Climate Dynamics PhD program , George Mason University. My work studies the role of coupling in climate simulations. I use CESM slab ocean model (SOM) coupled to CAM4/5 to investigate SST forced response with or without coupling, or mixed coupling in a “pacemaker” run. I also perform climate sensitivity experiments with the slab ocean model. My favorite part of research is to explain model results using theoretical models, which always improve my understanding of the climate. Below are
