Career Overview

Dr. Fang is mainly engaged in the research on the dynamics of air-sea interaction and climate prediction. She has successively presided over and participated in more than 10 national scientific research projects, and has published nearly 50 papers. In 2006, she won the first prize of the Natural Science Award of the Ministry of Education for Science and Technology in Higher Education. Director of the national first-class undergraduate course Geophysical Fluid Dynamics. She has made innovative achievements in the dynamics of midlatitude ocean-atmosphere interaction. Through systematic observation, simulation, and theoretical research, a theory of midlatitude unstable air-sea interaction including atmospheric transient eddy feedback has been established. This theory reveals the transient forcing path of midlatitude sea temperature anomalies affecting the atmosphere, proposes a positive feedback mechanism for midlatitude ocean-atmosphere interaction, explains the causes of the development and maintenance of decadal anomalies in the midlatitude sea-air system, depicts the physical image of midlatitude unstable sea-air interaction, and provides an important dynamic basis for understanding the causes and prediction of climate variability in the middle latitudes.
