Figure: Global precipitation monitored by a satellite of TRMM (3B42) in Novermber to March (2001-2005).   

For research on climate science, there are the several state-of-the-art tools to investigate available and I currently adopt some of them for my research: satellite observationreanalysis data, and numerical models. Especially, I have been working with some different kinds of numerical models and now mainly using Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM) and Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) modelling 

systems.
