Research of Super Typhoon Lekima: forecast, observation, numerical simulation and disaster survey

ƒDr. Jie TANG received the B.S. Degree from Nanjing University, Nanjing, and the Ph.D. Degree from Atmospheric Science of Nanjing University, in 2006. Dr. Tang is currently a research fellow of Shanghai Typhoon Institute, CMA, China. His research interests include tropical cyclone boundary layer, extratropical transition, typhoon forecast techniques, and typhoon filed campaign. Dr. Tang served as the Chairperson of the Working Group of Meteorology(WGM) of WMO/ESCAP Typhoon Committee since 2021.

Dr. Jianfang FEI is a professor at the National University of Defense Technology, Vice President of the Chinese Meteorological Society. His research interests include typhoon forecast techniques, and typhoon-ocean interaction.

Dr. Hui YU is the director of Shanghai Typhoon Institute (STI) of China Meteorological Administration, a member of the Working Group on Tropical Meteorological Research under World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and the deputy-chief-editor of the UNESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee journal Tropical Cyclone Research and Review. Her research interests include tropical cyclone track, intensity, and structure change, tropical cyclone analyses with observations from multiple sources, interaction between tropical cyclones and mid-latitude weather systems, tropical cyclone prediction techniques, climatology and disaster risk assessment.
