Dr. Zizhen Dong is an associated professor at Yunnan University. He obtained his PhD degree in Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and finished his postdoctoral work in Yunnan University. His research interests focus on the mechanisms of extreme weather and climate events, CMIP6 model assessment, and extreme climate prediction, primarily fixed on the climate variability in Southeast Asia and Southwest China ranging from intraseasonal oscillation to interdecadal time scales. In addition, he also works on the temporal and spatial climate variations in low-latitude high plateau in China and their mechanisms, heavily highlighting the dynamic diagnosis, observation and reanalysis data, and model simulations.
