Tsung-Lin Hsieh

I am a graduate student in the Program in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at Princeton University and the Weather and Climate Dynamics Division at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory of NOAA. I work closely with Dr. Stephen Garner, Dr. Gabriel Vecchi and Dr. Isaac Held on the theory of convection and tropical cyclones. My main research tools are idealized models, including global climate models and regional cloud-permitting models. My earlier experience involves other aspects of numerical computation, such as generation of unstructured grid, assimilation of observations into models, and parameterization of observations.
