Chun Lei Liu
I am a visiting fellow in the Department of Meteorology, University of Reading.
My research is focused on the climate change, particularly on the Earth system energy budget and the water cycle change in the warming climate. I combine the satellite and surface observations with reanalysis and climate model simulations to extract the useful information and study the mechanisms, in order to have better understanding of the climate change.
I am currently working at Guangdong Ocean University, China (liuclei@gdou.edu.cn) and a visiting fellow of the University of Reading. My latest publications are listed below. Some earlier publications can be found here.
