Research Details

More information about group research

Each topic below expands the brief research-area summary above into the kinds of questions, mechanisms, and impacts the group investigates.

ENSO Complexity and Diversity

Professor Yu's research introduced the terms Central Pacific El Nino and Eastern Pacific El Nino and helped establish ENSO diversity as a major climate-science topic. The group studies subtropical forcing, onset dynamics, El Nino-La Nina asymmetry, multi-year ENSO, prediction, model simulation, and global climate impacts.

Marine Heatwave Dynamics

The group studies North Pacific marine heatwave dynamics, including distinct marine heatwave patterns, atmospheric wavetrain mechanisms, trans-basin feedbacks, and the processes that sustain long-lasting marine heatwaves in regions such as the Gulf of Alaska.

Trans-Basin Climate Interactions

Research connects climate variability across the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic, and Southern Ocean. Topics include Atlantic and Indian Ocean controls on ENSO, Pacific-Atlantic climate connectivity, Arctic warming effects, links between the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, and climate shifts in the 1970s and 1990s.

Indian Ocean and Monsoon Variability

The group studies the internal and forced components of Indian Ocean dipole variability, interactions between the Indian Ocean and monsoon, recent changes in Indian-Australian monsoon interactions, and the role of Indonesian Throughflow in Pacific-Indian Ocean exchange.

Atmospheric Dynamics and Clouds

Professor Yu's earlier work advanced understanding of baroclinic wave life cycles, jet stream vacillation, wave-mean flow interaction, and orographic stationary waves. Related cloud-climate research examines marine boundary layer clouds, model treatment of stratus, and Peruvian stratocumulus impacts on the eastern Pacific cold tongue.

Climate Modeling and Diagnosis

Modeling work includes development of an atmospheric GCM using a full Galerkin method, coupling UCLA AGCM with LANL POP for a global parallel coupled ocean-atmosphere GCM, basin coupled-decoupled experiments for cross-basin interactions, and diagnosis and improvement of regional and global climate models.
