Huang hails from Jinhua, Zhejiang. There he received his initial education, then he was admitted to the Department of Aeronautical Engineer of then National Central University in 1938. However, the infection of one of his fingers limited his manual dexterity, he switched over to geography.[1] As one of first graduates of Meteorology, he received his degree in 1942. Later, he studied at University of Chicago and UCLA,[2] under Carl-Gustaf Rossby and Jacob Bjerknes's guidance successively. For unknown reason, he dropped out his PhD course, returned to mainland China and taught at Nanjing University.
