Welcome to the official webpage of the Climate Extremes Modeling (CEM) Group at Stony Brook University!  Located in the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, the CEM group focuses on investigating how extreme events, such a tropical cyclones, may be altered in a changing climate. This includes understanding the capability of current and next-generation climate models to simulate extreme weather events. The group also develops simplified, reduced complexity modeling frameworks to study extremes in a global context.

New Article on Idealized Climate Modeling

CEM Group PhD student Xiaoning Wu, along with Prof. Kevin Reed, recently published a paper documenting simplified designs of the Community Earth System Model with full atmosphere-ocean interactions (link). Simplified models, such as aquaplanets for the atmosphere or...
