Research achievements:

Prof. Dai is an internationally renowned expert in land surface modeling and in weather/climate and climate change research. He has made systemic and innovative contributions to the development of land surface models and global and continental scale land surface characteristics datasets, which could be summarized as follows:

1. Land surface models: 1) Land surface processes model of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences (IAP94), 2) The Common Land Model (CLM), 3) The Common Land Model Upgrade (CoLM).

2. Land surface characteristics datasets for land modelling: 1) High-resolution global/China soil datasets, 2) The global depth to bedrock (DTB) for land surface modeling, 3) Global leaf area index (LAI) datasets.

3. The Terrestrial Modeling System (TMS).
