Weilin PAN, Professor, doctoral supervisor of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Her research mainly focuses on the optical remote sensing techniques for atmosphere studies. She has been involved in developing the world’s First Fe Boltzmann lidar for measuring the middle atmosphere temperature over the North and South Pole. In 2013, for the first time, she made ground-based lidar measurements on the middle atmosphere temperature over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. She served as Co-PI of an NSFC grant – Atmospheric Profiling Synthetic Observation System (APSOS), and developed a lidar for measuring aerosol, cloud, and water vapor. Her team has developed a Rayleigh temperature lidar and deployed it at Zhongshan Station, Antarctica. In 2003, she was awarded the Allen Prize by the Optical Society of America (OSA).
