Welcome to Wuhu Feng's home page


I am a Post-doctoral Research Fellow funded by Natural Environment Research Center Upper Troposphere Lower Stratosphere Ozone Scientific Research Programme (NERC UTLS) and supervised by Prof. Martyn Chipperfield in the School of the Environment, University of Leeds. My research now focusses on Stratospheric Polar Ozone depletion using global Stratospheric 3D transport model SLIMCAT. Near-real-time SLIMCAT results for Arctic winter 2002/3 is here. Near-real-time SLIMCAT results for Arctic winter 2003/4 is here. Near-real-time SLIMCAT results for Arctic winter 2004/5 is here. Near-real-time SLIMCAT results for Antarctic 2005 is here. The SLIMCAT forced by UKMO and ECMWF analyses also successfully reproduce the Antarctic Stratospheric Sudden Warming and split ozone hole of 2002. The animated movie files can be downloaded in gif or avi format or ppt format .

My past research experience was 4DVAR(Chinese file) and heavy rainfall mesoscale system. I have developed and improved MM5 Modeling system using the data sets collected by National Meteorological Center (Beijing) as well as China's four major meteorological scientific experiments and conducted successfully two cases simulation 96.8 and 98.7 heavy rain and dynamic(in Chinese) and thermodynamic(pdf v5.0 in Chinese) diagnosis from the output data of MM5.

My postgraduate supervisor is Professor Linsheng Cheng, and my graduate supervisor is Professor Chongjian Qiu, The abstract of my PhD thesis: Nonhydrostatic Numerical Simulation Study on the Developing Structure and Mechanism of the Heavy Rainfall Mesoscale System can be found here, and the abstract of my M.S thesis: Researches of Several Aspect on Four Dimensional Variational Data can be found here .

I am a lecturer of Department of Atmospheric Science, College of Resource and Enviroment Sciences, Lanzhou University since 2000, and I worked in Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences in cooperation with Dr. Minghu Cheng as a Visiting Researcher from July 1998 to August 1999.
