Biography

Dr. Jianjun Xu is professor in Guangdong Ocean University (GDOU), Zhanjiang, China. His expertise is in satellite remote sense and sun-earth climate connection, decadal climate change, Air-Sea interaction, hydrometeorology, Mesoscale numerical modeling and satellite data assimilation. He received his bachelor and master degrees in atmospheric sciences from Nanjing University. After obtaining his Ph.D in 1997 from Nanjing Institute of Meteorology, he worked as postdoctoral researcher in State Key Lab. of Numerical Modelling for Atmospheric Fluid Dynamics (LASG), Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Science, a research fellow in City university of Hong Kong. Since 2000, he joined Institute of Mining and Technology to continue his postdoctoral research, a research associate in University of Arizona, a project scientist II of UCAR in Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation (JCSDA) and a Research professor in George Mason University. In Summer of 2016, he moved back China working on climate changes, air-sea interaction, satellite data assimilation and regional reanalysis in Guangdong Ocean University. In recent years, he has been actively involved with several research projects including air-sea interaction, Sun-Earth Connection and Climate change, NCEP GSI data assimilation system, NCAR WRF three dimensional data assimilation systems (WRF-Var), WRF-ARW and MM5 regional modelling and East Asian regional reanalysis. He has published over 100 papers in professional journals.
