  • Analyzed the stability of planetary polar vortices by conducting 3D simulations and linear stability analysis to identify critical conditions leading to vortex splitting
  • Exploring the relationship between vortex instability and atmospheric parameters, with plans to extend the analysis to include various boundary conditions and flow fields
