Research Experience:
LBL Post-Doc Staff: CALGEM Project (Advisor: Marc Fischer)
07 – present
The measurement and inverse of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission in
California (CALGEM):
(1)
Running WRF model to get accurate meteorology data around CA
(2)
Modifying STILT to get the model output of CO2 and CH4 concentration at
selected sites.
(3) Developing an innovative inversion model to
retrieve the surface GHGs emission in California area based on STILT model
output and tower measurements.
Part results have been shown in CEC, BAMS and AGU meeting.

of Utah PhD Graduate Research Assistant (Advisor: Tim Garrett) 02---07
The interaction between aerosol, clouds and radiation in the Arctic:
(1) Arctic haze aerosol from long-range transport, not the local
produced nucleation aerosol, play an essential role in the interaction between
aerosol and clouds
(2) In the Nature paper, I figured out that Arctic haze
aerosol, can warm the Arctic by 3.3-5.2 Wm-2 by increasing the
low-level stratus cloud thermal emissivity.
(3) Developed two retrieval methods, one is for Arctic
single-layer thin stratus clouds; the other is for Arctic precipitation.
(4) Aerosol pollution is associated with an
increase in longwave cloud radiative forcing (CRF), and a relatively less
decrease in shortwave CRF.
(5) Studied the Arctic precipitation scavenging efficiency
