Xiquan Dong

Dr. Xiquan Dong's research can be briefly summarized in the following four areas: (1) developing the cutting-edge cloud retrieval techniques in ground-based remote sensing, 2) developing innovative methods to validate satellite cloud retrievals using ground-based results, (3) improving GCM/WRF and reanalyses simulated cloud, radiation and precipitation using surface-satellite data, and (4) investigating  the feedback processes of Arctic cloud-radiation on Arctic sea ice changes.
