Li Chongyin, male, Han nationality, is a native of Dachuan, Sichuan Province. He graduated from University of Science and Technology of China.
Li's research achievements are in the fields of aerology, including tropical meteorology, atmospheric low frequency oscillation dynamics and ENSO atmospheric circulation dynamics. He put forward the proposition that the convective heating reaction is the main mechanism for generating the atmospheric seasonal oscillation in tropical zones and completing the CISK wave theory for atmospheric seasonal oscillation in tropical zonesF. With respect to the study of ENSO circulation dynamics, he discovered that the unconventionality of the winter monsoon in East Asia plays the key role for generating the ENSO. He also made several achievements in the fields of monitoring humidity by satellite infrared remote sensing, typhoon dynamics and tropic meteorology.
