Working on and Leading Projects

Expertises

Two-way coupled FEM modelling

Unstructured 3D Ocean & Wave nested & interconnected systems with up to 10m resolution.

HPC Regional Systems

Regional scale Ocean and Atmosphere models in real-time using High Performance Supercomputers.

Developing specific models

We are developing nested, high resolution models for any location using a combination of finite difference / finite element techniques.

Past Work

Tropical Cyclone Modelling

Realistic TC modelling and their effects on the ocean dynamics -- Oil & Gas industry project.

TC Humidity

Realistic TC modelling using nested WRF high resolution model.

TC Winds

Using Atmosphere -- WRF 5km 2-way coupled with ocean & wave (2km) models to simulate correct surface wind drag (and as a consequence Winds).

TC Radar Reflectivity

Using WRF model we can even simulate radar reflectivity -- equivalent to BOM radar images.

TC Ocean Temperature

Using ocean (ROMS) 2-way coupled with atmosphere (WRF) & wave (WW3) models to simulate 3D ocean temperature

TC Sig Wave Height

Using WW3 2-way coupled wave model with atmosphere (WRF) & ocean (ROMS) using correct atmo-ocean boundary layer

2-Way ROMS Nesting

Dynamically 2-way nested 250m ROMS model for Western Australia.

4D-Var Data Assimilation

4D-Var data assimilation using 2km ROMS model for North Shelf of Western Australia.

Data/Model Analysis

Advanced analysis of observations, large model data outputs using parallel - Dask Python env.
