Biography
Dr. Yang has published more than 70 ISI-indexed papers. He had been invited to give talks at AGU, AMS and AOGS annual assembles as well as other academic meetings. He was granted "Young Scientist Award" at International Symposium of Climate Change, Beijing, 2003，for proposing a new theory to link the raindrop evaporation cooling with the plateau atmospheric boundary layer development and organized convective clouds. Since 2009, the research team implemented several field experiments on the Plateau, including turbulent flux and radiation measurements on the Parlung No. 4 Glacier of southeastern Tibet, turbulent flux measurements at ITP Ngari station and Muztagh Ata station on western Tibetan dryland, and a multi-scale soil moisture and temperature monitoring network that consists of 56 sites in central Tibet.
