I am an (INTJ) Ph.D candidate at Department of Earth System Science, Tsinghua University. My major is atmospheric science, and I currently conduct research at the intersection of atmospheric science and artificial intelligence. I started working with Prof. Haohuan Fu in Fall 2021, prior to that, I got my Bachelor’s degree at UM-SJTU Joint Institute, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, majoring in Mechanical Engineering.

A location-aware and deep-learning-based deep convection trigger function is proposed to improve the diurnal cycle simulation in tropics. Results show that terrain information, temporal dependence of convection, and water vapor content are essential for predicting convection. Also, including information from neighboring atmospheric columns can improve the performance of the deep convection trigger function.

A lightweight weather forecast model with graph network and multi-layer perceptron is designed to depict dynamics and physics separately. The design of the graph follows the Arakawa C-grid, with the wind speeds embedded as edge features to simulate the large-scale dynamics. Correlations between graph parameters and atmospheric processes highlight model’s interpretability, paving way for more reliable predictions.
