Dr. Liu is a Research Astrophysicist at GSFC with more than 20 years of experience in research on the dynamics and compositions of Earth’s and planetary upper atmospheres and ionospheres. Her current research focuses on the ionospheric electrodynamics, studying how terrestrial weather impacts the upper atmosphere and space weather. She is a member of the GDC Project Science Team, and she has served as PI on a number of NASA awards.

Brief Bio
Current Projects
Impacts of atmospheric planetary-scale waves on the equatorial ionosphere
Earth's Ionosphere
LWS funded project to better understand how the ionosphere responds to the forcing from below in the lower atmosphere. This project includes analyses of satellite and ground-based observations as well as simulations of coupled whole atmosphere and ionosphere models.
Subseasonal to seasonal variability of the upper atmosphere
Earth's Atmosphere
This project aims at the impacts of terrestrial weather and climate on the upper atmosphere. Partners include UCAR/NCAR.
GNSS radio occultation
Technology & Missions
Perform a simulation study for GNSS receivers on the GDC mission.
