Tsung-Yung Lee

Tsung-Yung received his PhD in summer 2024.

He is interested in Tropical Meteorology, TC-associated characteristics (genesis, development, dynamics, climatology and TC-environment interaction), radiation and numerical modeling. For his PhD he studied the TC-radiative interaction with the CloudSat measurements.

During his master student career in National Taiwan University, Tsung-Yung investigated the impact of the environmental low-level flow on TC intensity change under moderate deep-layer shear by conducting a set of idealized simulations under the idealized framework of WRF model. This work is published on AMS JAS in 2021.

In his life in Tallahassee, Tsung-Yung enjoyed badminton, gym training and jogging. He follows sports matches and news (especially for tennis and badminton). Other hobbies include playing SWITCH games and following political news.
