Interests

Kerry Emanuel is working on various aspects of moist convection in the atmosphere, and on tropical cyclones; He is interested in fundamental properties of moist convection, including the scaling of convective velocities and the nature of the diurnal cycle of convection over land; His group has developed a promising technique for inferring tropical cyclone activity from coarse-grain output of climate models or re-analyses.
