Research and Publications

Research interests focus on meteorology, weather forecasts and climate research related to climate change using high-speed computers, in addition to studies related to the effects of climate change and adaptation to it on the environment, water resources, agriculture and tourism. Exploring current and future climate change indicators using numerical climate change models of global and local scale. And studying the quality of meteorological and climatic databases using statistical analyzes and identifying weather systems affecting at the local, regional and global levels and linking this to severe local climatic phenomena and the environmental relations of global climatic indicators for the northern hemisphere of the Earth’s surface, such as the North Atlantic Index and for the southern hemisphere such as El Nino.
