Research summary
AI-generated

Yun Zhang's research focuses on tropical cyclones and severe weather, including numerical simulation of tornado-like vortices, stratospheric gravity waves generated by typhoons, and the microphysics of raindrops and precipitation using satellite and radar observations. The publication record also includes some unrelated work on soil chemistry and pollutant degradation, suggesting either a broad collaboration network or shared author name across different research groups. This work would suit students interested in atmospheric science, storm dynamics, and remote sensing of weather systems.
