Junhong Wang

Junhong (June) Wang is a Research Associate Professor at the Department of Atmospheric & Environmental Sciences, University at Albany. Their research focuses on climate observations, data creation/analysis, and applications of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) measurements. They specialize in improving the quality of radiosonde and satellite data for climate studies. Dr. Wang holds a PhD from Columbia University, an MS from the National Research Center for Marine Environment Forecasts (China), and a BS from Peking University.

Educational Background:

• PhD in Atmospheric Science, Columbia University
• MS in Atmospheric Science, NRCMEF (Beijing)
• BS in Atmospheric Science, Peking University

Research Interests:

• Climate data homogenization and uncertainty quantification
• GNSS and radiosonde technology advancements
• Atmospheric boundary layer dynamics
• Extreme weather event analysis

Key Article Trends: Recent work emphasizes long-term climate data validation, instrument transitions (e.g., RS92 to RS41 radiosondes), and process-oriented model evaluation. Studies integrate multi-platform observations (satellites, GPS, dropsondes) to address climate-scale questions.

Labs/Teams: Active contributor to global climate observing networks like GRUAN and collaborates on field campaigns (e.g., Concordiasi, WISPAR). Engages in developing high-quality climate datasets for international projects.
