About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in meteorology under the supervision of Prof. Jianhua Sun at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

My current research focuses on understanding the pre-convective environment and the convection initiation process over extratropical continents. If you are interested in my research, please do not hesitate to contact me and we can have a discussion.

Research Interest

  • icon_warm-sector-rainfall

    Warm-sector Rainfall

    Warm-sector rainfall is a unique and frequently occuring weather phenomenon in South China, with very complicated mechanisms.

  • icon_new-interest

    Pre-convective environments

    The pre-convective enviroment created by the interaction between the synoptic systems and the orography is the prerequisite for convection.

  • icon_convection-initiation

    Convection Initiation

    Convection initiation is the most critical link in the entire life span of convective storm.

  • icon_mcs

    Organization of MCS

    The organizations of mesoscale convective systems have various characteristics and mechanisms.
