Dr. Semazzi’s research focus is in climate modeling and the development of atmospheric numerical models. Over the last four years, he has been directing the development of a nonhydrostatic semi-Lagrangian global atmospheric prediction model. A scalable version of this model is being developed and realistic parameterization of the physical processes is being encorporated in the model. Dr. Semazzi has collaborated on a wide spectrum of climate studies. These include the ongoing development of seasonal climate prediction capability for tropical regions, modeling of the Sahelian climate, and the role of bottom orography on climate.
