Dr Samantha Ferrett

I'm a Postdoctoral Research Fellow currently working on the CIRCULATES project and a CSSP Asia project. My work involves assessment of cloud feedbacks in current coupled climate models and the role of sea surface temperature variability in the East Asian Monsoon.

Research Interests:

• Representation of the tropical climate and weather in coupled climate models and forecast models.
• Uncertainty in future changes in climate.
• Tropical waves and their links to high impact weather in Southeast Asia.
• Dynamics and teleconnections of modes of variability (e.g. El Nino-Southern Oscillation) in the Tropical Pacific.

Current Research Projects:

• CIRCULATES: A project examining uncertainty in cloud feedbacks.
• Dynamics of East Asian monsoon variability and climate change: This project is part of the CSSP: China programme, examining dynamics of East Asian summer monsoon and it's representation in current coupled models
