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.
