Meteorology
Research
Interests
Dr.
Zhu's research concentrates on studying the processes
responsible for the formation, development, and dissipation
of clouds, representing cloud processes in numerical
models, and investigating cloud-climate feedback mechanisms.
He has participated in many important research projects
funded by U.S. Department of Energy, NSF, NOAA, and
NASA, such as the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement,
the Climate Process Team (CPT) on Low-latitude Cloud
Feedbacks on Climate Sensitivity. He has authored or
co-authored more than 20 research papers in scientifc
journals and national and international conferences.
Dr. Zhu has been actively involved with GCSS cloud working
groups in the past a few years. Currently, he also works
on NOAA Florida Hurricane Alliance Project.
