	Prof. Shigeo Yoden (Kyoto University)
	Title Stratosphere-troposphere two-way dynamical coupling in the tropics through organization of moist convective systems
	Brief Bio Professor Shigeo Yoden is a professor of Meteorology in the Division of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Kyoto University. He got his D.Sc. degree in 1983 from Kyoto University, and has been working as a faculty member at the same university since then. He received the Award of Meteorological Society of Japan in May 1992, for his study on the general circulation of the atmosphere with idealized nonlinear models. His contribution to the international programs and activities is numerous, including as a member of the Scientific Steering Group (SSG) of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP)/Stratosphere-troposphere Processes And their Role in Climate (SPARC), 1999 - 2005, and the President of IUGG/IAMAS/ International Commission on the Middle Atmosphere, 2007 - 2011, and the Editor of the Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences (American Meteorological Society), 2009 - 2011. He has been the Activity Leader of Stratospheric and Tropospheric Influences on Tropical Convective Systems (SATIO-TCS) in the SSG of WRCP/SPARC since 2016.

	Prof. Yign Noh (Yonsei University)
	Title Development of a Lagrangian Cloud Model and Its Application to Cloud Microphysics Researches
	Brief Bio Professor Yign Noh is currently a professor at Yonsei University, Korea. He received his B.S. (Oceanography) in 1980, M.S. (Physics) in 1982 at SNU, and Ph.D. (GFD) in 1987 at Johns Hopkins University. His main research interests are geophysical turbulence and its parameterization, mixing process in the ocean, and suspended particles in turbulent flows, and the main research tool is computer simulation, especially large eddy simulation (LES). His major achievements include the development of the LES model of the ocean mixed layer and the Lagrangian cloud model (LCM), in collaboration with U. Hannover, which are applied to investigate ocean mixing and cloud microphysics, respectively. He also developed the parameterizations of the ocean mixed layer and the PBL, both of which are now used widely in climate and NWP models. His international activity involves the International Association for the Physical Sciences of the Oceans (IAPSO), the International Workshop on Modeling the Ocean (IWMO), and the editor of Journal of Oceanography.

	Prof. Liao Hong (Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology)
	Title Weather conditions conducive to Beijing severe-haze more frequent under climate change
	Brief Bio Professor Hong Liao got her B.S. degree in 1986 and M.S. degree in 1989 from Peking University, and then obtained her Ph.D. degree in 2001 from California Institute of Technology. She worked in Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, during 2006-2016 and is currently the Dean of School of Environmental Science and Engineering in Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology. She has been working on numerical modeling of air quality and climate change and has published widely in domestic and international journals. She was one of the Lead Authors of the Chapter 7 “Clouds and Aerosols” of IPCC Working Group I 5th Assessment Report. She is the vice chair of Chinese National Committee of WCRP and also a member of the Joint Scientific Committee of WCRP.
