Prof. Shangping Xie research centers on ocean-atmosphere interactions and their role in climate formation, variability, and change. He carries out both diagnostic and modeling studies, using observations and numerical models of the ocean, atmosphere, and their coupled system. The research of his team has led to the formulation of windevaporation-sea surface temperature (WES) feedback mechanism and the Indian Ocean capacitor effect, the "warmer-get-wetter" idea for rainfall change in global warming, and the discovery of what Science magazine called the longest island wake of the world. Prof. Xie is the recipient of many international awards, including the Society Medal for contributions to understanding air-sea interaction and its role in climate formation and variability, Meteorological Society of Japan, 2002; National Science Foundation Special Creativity Award, 2013; Highly cited researcher 2014 (among 159 world wide in geoscience), Thomson Reuters etc.
