About
Dr. Jiale Lou has been with the CIRES and the NOAA AOP team since February 2021. He is working on seasonal to decadal climate predictions and predictability of some environmental conditions by using a series of empirical climate models. His research interests include large-scale climate variability and dynamics, and climate predictions and predictability studies. Prior to working with NOAA, he obtained his PhD degree in marine science at University of Tasmania, Australia. His PhD thesis is about the South Pacific Ocean climate dynamics and predictability.
