Seniorforsker / Senior Researcher - Global Climate, Nansensenteret
Om
Wang’s research focuses on climate prediction. He is interested in both the past and the future climate. To study the past climate, he works with reconstructing it for the period of 1850 to the present. Having a reconstruction of the global climate for that period will be helpful for climate researchers to better understand changes and to be able to better separate man-made and natural causes. And to investigate the future, Wang is part of the development team of the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM) – a climate prediction system that is already in use to predict the near and far changes in our future climate. One important tool Wang uses are methods for data assimilation and machine learning. These are necessary to make the climate predictions more precise and useful for climate adaptation.
Interview with Wang: "Getting the right start" - Whether you want to predict the weather tomorrow or the climate in ten years, you’ll have to know what it’s like today.

Pioneering subseasonal-to-seasonal prediction of regional climate and extremes through hybrid AI–physics modelling
Samfunnet trenger tidlige varsler for å kunne forberede seg på ekstreme hendelser som stormene Hans og Amy og de nylige hetebølgene i Europa. Forskeren fra Nansensenteret og Bjerknessenteret skal lede Bjerknessenterets nye satsning på et varslingssystem for været fra to uker til ett år frem i tid.
Infrastructure for Norwegian Earth System Modelling phase 2
NorESM is the Norwegian Earth System Model and is an essential tool for researchers to be able to simulate the climate in the past, present and future. The infrastructure project INES2 will upgrade NorESM with new and updated functionality by incorporating research-driven development in a nationally coordinated manner.
