The Twelfth Lecture of the Invited Series of Academic Reports on Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences ended successfully
Release time: 2016-05-17
This time, Professor Liu Jiaming gave a total of 5 reports on the topic of Multi-Scale interactions of aerosols, atmospheric processes and climate change in Asia monsoon regions . The topics are:
1. The Aerosol-Monsoon Climate System of Asia - A New Paradigm
2. Basic observations and theories of aerosol-monsoon interactions
3. Aerosol-monsoon variability over South Asia and East Asia
4. Accelerated melting of snowpack and glaciers in High Mountain Asia by absorbing aerosols: causes and consequences
5. Assessment of impacts of aerosols vs. greenhouse warming on Asian monsoon precipitation and circulations
The monsoon is an important climate system that affects precipitation in my country and East Asia, and East Asia is also the region with the most serious atmospheric pollution. How do atmospheric pollutants couple with the Asian monsoon system through physical, chemical and dynamic processes and affect the atmospheric circulation and climate in East Asia? This has always been an issue that my country and East Asian climatologists pay close attention to. In his lecture, Professor Liu Jiaming systematically introduced the coupling between aerosols and the Asian monsoon circulation system and its climatic effects. He first introduced the basic concept of the monsoon system and the various radiation, cloud and precipitation effects of aerosols, and then he described the "elevated heat pump" (Elevated heat pump ) effect of aerosols, the ice and snow dimming effect caused by aerosols (Snow Darkening Effect) , the interaction of monsoon circulation and Hadley circulation under the action of aerosols, etc. During the one-week lecture and visit, Professor Liu Jiaming had a full communication with the teachers, graduate students and undergraduates of our department. Professor Liu Jiaming was impressed by the active participation of graduate and undergraduate students and their keen interest in scientific issues.
Teachers and students from Peking University, Tsinghua University, Beijing Normal University, Nanjing University, Sun Yat-sen University, Lanzhou University, Ocean University of China, Nanjing University of Information Engineering, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, National Climate Center and other units listened The report of Professor Liu Jiaming.
Born in Macau, Prof. Lau Ka -Ming received a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and physics from the University of Hong Kong in 1972, a Ph.D. degree from the University of Washington in 1977 , an assistant professor at the U.S. Naval Graduate Schoolfrom 1978 to 1980He worked at the Space Flight Center (NASA/GSFC) and was the director of the Atmospheric Science Division of the Earth Science Department of GSFC. After retiring from NASA in 2014, he is a senior researcher at the University of Maryland and an adjunct professor at the University of Maryland. Professor Liu Jiaming is a world-renowned meteorologist who has made outstanding achievements in the field of monsoon system research. His papers are cited in the top 0.01% in various fields. In recognition of his outstanding academic achievements, his important contributions to promoting the foreign exchange of atmospheric science at Peking University, the exchange of atmospheric science between China and the United States, and the exchange of atmospheric science between the mainland and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Peking University awarded him the honorary title of "Visiting Professor".
