Biography
Dr. Zhuo Wang's research interests are primarily in the fields of tropical meteorology and climate dynamics, including tropical cyclones, intraseasonal variability, tropical-extratropical interaction, subseasonal to seasonal prediction and predictability. The research objective is to better understand the fundamental dynamics and physics governing atmospheric motions and to improve the prediction skills.
