Research Interest

He has been involved in basic and high-tech research in various fields of atmospheric science, solar-terrestrial physics, as well as earth observation and global change research. In 1960s, mainly involved in thunderstorm and atmospheric radio emission study, Since 1970s, involving in lidar atmospheric remote sensing of aerosol distribution and boundary layer structure, as well as atmospheric visibility. Since 1975, involving in microwave remote sensing with both developing ground-based MW radiometer for field observation as well as space-borne MW remote sensing retrieval method. In 1980, he firstly suggested the principle of combined active and passive microwave remote sensing for precipitation distribution and established an iterative solution for combined remote sensing equations. Since mid-1970s, has been involving in atmospheric aerosol remote sensing with optical observation. In 1981, he firstly suggested a retrieval principle for aerosol size distribution by using joint solar-direct spectral irradiance and forward scattered radiances. Since early 1980s, involving middle atmosphere research, as chief scientist to develop the first VHF/ST radar in mainland China, doing research on Gravity Waves, ozone variation, volcanic eruption, as well as stratosphere- troposphere coupling etc.  In mid 1980's, involved in Project of Global Character Study on Sun- Earth System during 22nd Solar Cycle, then as PI leading the Project of Global Character of Sun-Earth System over Antarctica in early 1990s  Since late 1980s, he took part in China National High-Tech Development Program on space technology as the expert of science and application. He is the chief scientist of Earth Environment Monitoring Unit on board China spacecraft SZ-3 which was launched in 2002. He also actively involved in earth observation high-tech R&D programs, including as the chief scientist of UV limb imaging spectrometry, solar irradiance monitoring on Kuafu Mission. Since late1980s, involved in global change research on land surface-atmosphere interaction to climate and ecology, as chief scientist of NSFC's major research project Inner-Mongolia Grassland Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere interaction.
