Brief Experiences
Guoxiong Wu graduated from the Department of Meteorology of Nanjing Institute of Meteorology in 1966, received his doctorate in 1983 at London University Imperial College and worked as a visiting scientist at European Center for Medium-Range Forecasts from 1983 to 1984. He returned to China and worked at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1985 and was elected the Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1997. He worked as a Senior Visiting research Professor at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, Princeton University, U.S.A. from 1989 to 1991. He was the director of State Key Laboratory of Numerical Modelling of Atmospheric Sciences and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (LASG) during 1993-2000. He is mainly engaged in weather dynamics, climate dynamics and atmospheric general circulation.

Research Interests

He is mainly engaged in weather dynamics, climate dynamics and atmospheric general circulation. He developed the extended Ertel PV-theory to the theory of "slantwise vorticity development"(SVD). By using this theory, he revealed the mechanism on the formation and development of torrential rain. He also extended quasi-geostrophic non-acceleration theorem to primitive equation non-acceleration theorem. He is closely involved in studies on the effects of the Tibetan Plateau on atmospheric general circulation, weather and climate, on the formation and variation of the subtropical anticyclones, and on the dynamics of the Asian monsoon. He has published more than 200 papers on domestic and international academic journals.

On-going duty

He is now the chief editor of "Advances in Atmospheric Sciences", and editor of the international journals "Climate dynamics", the Officer of the Joint Science Committee (JSC) of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP), and the President of International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (IAMAS).
