Current research themes
Prof. Li’s research has been focusing on the water cycle and energy balance processes in the Earth’s climate system, and devote to the development of advanced satellite remote sensing methods and datasets; and apply them to climate system research. Current work focus:
- Developing visible/infrared/microwave combined satellite remote sensing methods for forest vegetation moisture content, and apply them to large area forest transpiration and forest fire related research;
- Using satellite remote sensing and model simulations to study the impacts of mineral dust and fire released aerosols on atmosphere;
- Developing the physical satellite algorithm of the vertical profile of precipitation latent heat, and use this to understand the influence of latent heat on regional weather and large-scale atmospheric circulation
Key words : Satellite Remote Sensing, Microwave Emissivity Difference Vegetation Index (EDVI) , Evaportranspiration, Carbon Flux, Forest Fire
