Dr. Chung’s research is focused on reducing the uncertainty in the effect of aerosol on climate. To do this, he integrates and analyses aerosol observations to reduce the uncertainty in aerosol; uses observations to constrain the optical properties (such as the single scattering albedo) of each aerosol species; and uses observations to constrain the aerosol direct radiative forcing. In addition, he does climate modelling experiments with aerosol effects in a way that focuses on reducing the uncertainty of a chosen climate model. He also attempts to reduce the uncertainty in greenhouse gas radiative forcing and looks into the effect of more accurate greenhouse gas forcing on climate
