In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Meteorology, Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Forecast skill and Numerical weather prediction. His work deals with themes such as Cyclone and Cyclogenesis, which intersect with Meteorology. His studies in Climatology integrate themes in fields like Convection and Global change.

His Global change research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Global warming, Transient climate simulation and Climate model. His study focuses on the intersection of Atmospheric sciences and fields such as Boundary layer with connections in the field of Troposphere and Front. He has included themes like Synoptic scale meteorology and Mesoscale meteorology in his Potential vorticity study.

Between 2002 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Uncertainty in predictions of the climate response to rising levels of greenhouse gases. (955 citations)
  • Feedback between the Land Surface and Rainfall at Convective Length Scales (50 citations)
  • The impact of perturbations to ocean-model parameters on climate and climate change in a coupled model (31 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Meteorology
  • Thermodynamics
  • Tropical cyclone

His primary areas of study are Meteorology, Climatology, Forecast skill, Atmosphere and Numerical weather prediction. His work in the fields of Extratropical cyclone and Vorticity overlaps with other areas such as Extension.
