June-Yi Lee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

June-Yi Lee is an atmospheric scientist at Pusan National University known for her use of models to investigate the atmosphere and the ocean under future climate scenarios.

Education and career

[edit]

Lee received a B.S. from Ewha Womans University in 1997. She earned an M.S. (1999) and a Ph.D. (2003) from Seoul National University. She then did postdoctoral work at NASA and the University of Hawaiʻi.[1] As of 2022 she is an associate professor at Pusan National University,[2] and an associate researcher at the University of Hawaii.[1]

Research

[edit]

Lee's early work examined rainfall patterns[3] and modeling of the Asian-Australian monsoon.[4] She subsequently examined seasonal predictions within coupled ocean-atmosphere models,[5] with a particular focus on seasonal oscillations and the impact on the Asian summer monsoon.[6] More recently she examines how the monsoon is parameterized within the CMIP5 model.[7] In 2021, she was the coordinating lead author for Working Group I, chapter 4 of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.[8]

Awards and honors

[edit]

In 2018 Lee received the Climate Change Grand Leaders Award from the Climate Change Center.[9] in 2020 she received the 30th Science and Technology Award from the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Society,[10] in recognition of her paper on the 2016 heat wave in Korea.[11] In 2021 she was named scientist of the year by the Korean Science Journalists Association.[12][better source needed]
