Research Group: Atmospheric

Introduction: 

Our research involves the atmospheres of Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and exoplanets. The main objective is to understand the physical processes, dynamics and climate of these atmospheric systems. The basic research approaches include the development of numerical models and simulations, as well as the analysis of observational data.

Our team is conducting research in the following fields:

  • Dust storms and other atmospheric physical processes on Mars (Keith Chow)
  • Great Red Spot, polar vortices and convective motions on Jupiter (Tao Cai)
  • Computational fluid dynamics (Tao Cai)
  • Numerical modeling of the climate of exoplanets (Keith Chow)
