in 1942. Between 1950 to 1956, he served as deputy head
of the joined weather analysis and forecasting center
of PLA meteorological department and Chinese Academy of
Sciences. Since 1956, he has been a senior scientist in
the Institute of Earth Physics of Academy of Sciences.
He was deputy director and then director of Institute
of Atmospheric Physics of Academy of Sciences between
1980 to 1984. He was elected to academician of Chinese
Academy of Sciences in 1980. He was elected to president
of the Meteorological Society of China in 1986 and honorary
president of this society in 2006. Since 1980, he has

of China. He also served as an adviser to the Bureau of
Environmental Protection of China in 1980-1985.
Academician Tao has made innumerous contributions to the
meteorological science as well as the weather forecasting
in China. Among his most important contributions, he revealed
that the summer monsoon in Asia is composed of two independent
but correlated subsystems. He developed a meteorological
model for the heavy rainfall in East Asia monsoon region.
Both have been well accepted by the international academic
community of atmospheric science.
Research Interests:
Academician Tao's main research field covers meteorology,
satellite meteorology, meso-scale analysis and forecasting
and summer monsoon studies.
On going Projects:
Academician Tao's current research work is on the short
term climate and its prediction as well as the formation
mechanism and forecasting of the disastrous weathers
in China.
