Dr. Lin’s Involvement in ISET Research

ISET-Related Research Activities

1. Coordinating research among PIs of the 7 NOAA ISET Center partner universities. 

2. Global modeling of African easterly waves

Using the NOAA FIM model to simulate large-scale processes associated with the African easterly waves and their impacts on tropical cyclogenesis over eastern Atlantic Ocean.

     Team members: Drs. Yuh-Lang Lin, Guoqing Tang, Yaw Kyei, and Fred Semazzi

     NOAA Collaborators: Drs. J. Lee and S. E. Koch

3. Mesoscale modeling of mesoscale processes using the WRF model

     Team members: Drs. Yuh-Lang Lin, Guoqing Tang, Sunny Bae, Yaw Kyei, Yevgenii Rastigejev and Fred Semazzi

     NOAA Collaborators: Drs. J. Lee and S. E. Koch
