Education: (a) BS: Climatology, Nanjing University, 1989; (b) MS: Synoptic Dynamics, Nanjing University, 1993; (c) Ph D: Atmosphere Science, Peking University, 1996.
Research Interest
Regional climate and weather studies by the means of numerical modeling and data analysis. Recent and ongoing research include: mesoscale wind field study over complex topography in the Arctic; data assimilation and its application for regional reanalysis; regional climate downscaling for environmental impact studies; the role of stratosphere and troposphere interaction in the Arctic storm development; vegetation-land-air interactions and climate impacts of greening north; surface mass balance modeling for the Antarctic Peninsula. Through these activities, Zhang wishes to gain a better understanding of regional changes in the polar regions.
