Dr. Ye Tian is a Senior Engineer at the Beijing Meteorological Observation Center, specializing in lightning physics, thunderstorm electrification, and severe convective weather nowcasting. His research integrates multi-source atmospheric observations—including 3D electric field sounding, radar products, and total lightning networks—to advance understanding of storm charge structures and improve operational early-warning capabilities. He has led several major research projects on electric field measurements and lightning-jump–based nowcasting, and has contributed to the development of new observational technologies such as balloon-borne 3D electric field sondes. Dr. Tian has published extensively in atmospheric electricity and severe weather, and serves as a reviewer for leading journals including Atmospheric Research, JGR–Atmospheres, and JASTP. His work strengthens the link between scientific innovation and operational meteorological applications in China.
