She received her Ph.D in atmospheric science from Graduated School, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2009. She worked in Climate Prediction Cente (CPC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the US in 2013, examining the skill of the state-of-the-art climate models in simulating the interannual variability of the East Asian monsoon precipitation. Dr. Liu's work focuses on the atmospheric general circulation, mechanism of climate variability and interaction of the Asian summer monsoon subsystems and their influence on East Asian summer rainfall anomalies. Her research has been funded by grants from the Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and Laboratory for Climate Studies, CMA. She also is involved in NFSC Project, the National Basic Research Program of China, and CMA R&D Special Fund for Public Welfare, related to the Asian monsoon system variability and predictability. She was appointed as a member of the creative team for short-term climate prediction in CMA in 2012. She has published more than 30 peer-reviewed journal articles and has contributed to numerous books. Read More Read Less
