三、Research Interes
Yan Zhongwei have been in the field of climate change research since my PhD career in 1986. My studies cover a wide range of subjects, from daily variability to decadal and longer-term climate variations, from homogenization of weather observations to reconstruction of historical climate, from land-surface process modeling to non-linear dynamics prediction, from monsoons to NAO and ENSO. My current projects are focused on climate extremes (unusual weather conditions) and changes under global warming.

四、On going Projects
CAS BRJH project (2005-2008): Changes in Climate Extremes under Global Warming
MST 973 project (2006-2009): Climatic jumps in the drying process in N China during recent decades
CMA-NMC project (2007-2009): Risk analysis of rainstorm/flood at reservoir-basin-scale based on TIGGE data, regional coupled model and empirical downscaling
