The mission of the Climate Modeling and Analysis Program (CMAP) at Beijing Normal University is to develop a scientific understanding of the climate system and its response to natural and human-induced changes. Our approaches include global and regional modeling of climate, in-situ measurement campaigns, atellite data retrievals, and analyses of observations and simulations. The CMAP, led by Dr. Dai,consists of graduate research assistants, postdoctoral fellows, research faculties, and visiting scientists, who are working on a wide variety of research questions. These include mathematical modeling of land-surface processes and its role in controlling weather and climate. The CMAP enjoys productive collaborative relationships with many scientists at centers or institutes under China Meteorological Administration (CMA) and Chinese Academy of Science (CAS), as well as international climate modeling groups - Robert E. Dickinson & Rong Fu groups at Georgia Institute of Technology .
