Biography:

Dr. Kyu-Myong Kim received a Ph. D. in atmospheric sciences from Seoul National University, Korea, in 1996. His Ph. D. thesis is on the temporal and spatial structures of the seasonal and interannual variability of the tropical Pacific atmosphere and ocean based on in situ observation as well as ocean circulation model. In 1996, he came to Goddard Space Flight Center, as a National Research Council Resident Research Associates, where he worked on El Nino-Asian summer monsoon interaction and tropospheric biennial oscillation. Since then, he has been at Climate and Radiation Branch at NASA/GSFC as a USRA (Universities Space Research Association) Associate Scientist (1998-2000) and as a senior supporting scientist of Science Systems and Applications, Inc. (2000-2006). He joined GEST as an associate research scientist in January 2006. His research interest includes seasonal-to-interannual climate variability and predictability, climate modeling, and diagnostics. More recently, he has been worked on the effect of aerosol radiative forcing on the monsoon water cycle over various monsoon regions.
