معرفی
Dr. Samantha Ferrett is a Research Scientist at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) and the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading. She holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics and specializes in tropical climate dynamics, with a focus on improving subseasonal weather forecasts in Southeast Asia and understanding ENSO teleconnections. Her work bridges climate modeling, equatorial wave analysis, and model evaluation to address uncertainties in future climate projections.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Mathematics (institution unspecified)
Research Interests:
Her research focuses on tropical climate representation in coupled models, equatorial wave dynamics, and ENSO impacts on high-impact weather. Key areas include:
- Linking equatorial waves to extreme precipitation in Southeast Asia
- Quantifying uncertainties in tropical Pacific climate projections
- Evaluating model biases in ENSO feedbacks and teleconnections
- Developing hybrid dynamical-statistical forecast methods for subseasonal prediction
Recent Projects:
- FORWARDS: Investigating drivers of high-impact weather in Southeast Asia as part of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP).
- Analysis of convection-permitting ensemble forecasts over tropical regions.
Advising & Teaching:
- Co-supervised MSc projects on topics such as Borneo Vortex structure, Indonesian flooding, and climate impacts on cocoa production (e.g., Muhammad Subagya Prihatmaja, Prabu Aditia S.).
- Delivered Python workshops for undergraduate mathematics students.
Labs & Collaborations:
Her work is conducted within the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading, collaborating with institutions like the Met Office and CSSP China. Research is grounded in both observational analysis and advanced climate model diagnostics.
