Research interests

Prof. Yimin Liu, doctor. She is mainly engaged in subtropical weather and climate dynamics, Tibetan Plateau climate dynamics and climate simulation. She has studied the formation of the subtropical anticyclone systematically. She revealed how the different kinds of heating contribute differently to the formation and variation of the subtropical anticyclones, and how their combination affects the subtropical climates. She contributes to the development of the thermal adaptation theory and demonstrates how the atmosphere responds to different kind of heating and cooling. She also discovered how the deep condensation heating during the BOB monsoon onset can trigger the monsoon onset over the Southern China Sea. Moreover she conducted a series of study on the impacts on the Asian climate of the land-sea thermal contrast and the Tibetan Plateau mechanical and thermal forcing. She has published more than 70 papers on domestic and international academic journals and 3 books. Her PhD thesis was one of the Excellent PhD theses in China in 2001. She received Ye Du Feng Zheng Award for Excellent Paper of Young Scientist in 2001 and Zhao Jiuzhang Award of the Science and Technology for Young Scientist in 2005.
