Research Interests:
Mesoscale and climate modeling. Currently work on physical parameterizations of the NASA/DAO Finite-Volome General Circulation Model.
Biography:
Dr. Jiun-Dar Chern received a BS from National Taiwan University in
1984 and a Ph. D. in Atmospheric Sciences in 1994 from Purdue
University where he has developed the Purdue Mesoscale Model (PMM)
and applied the model to study lee vortices, and winter cyclogenesis
over the western United Stated. Form1995-2000, he worked as a
Research Associate at Purdue University to develop the Purdue
Regional Climate Model (PRCM) and snowpack and sea-ice model. The
model has been applied to study the 1988 US drought, 1993 Midwestern
flood, and 1998 flood in Eastern Asia. In 2000 he joined UMBC/GEST
and worked at the DAO, NASA/GSFC to improve the physical
parameterizations of the fvGCM and the interface between the fvGCM
and GEOS4 data assimilation system. In 2004 he joined the cloud
modeling group at Mesoscale Atmospheric Processes Branch to develop
the Multi-scale Modeling Framework or superparameterization based on
the fvGCM and 2D GCE models. |
