Zhao was elected as academician, International Eurasian
Academy of Sciences (IEAS) in 1999.
Research interests
severe storm and mesoscale dynamics, including heavy rainstorm,
snowstorm, tropical cyclone, monsoon depression, cut-off
low, squall line and interaction between multi-scale systems
in Asian- Australian monsoon area; numerical prediction
and modeling, including the development and improvement
of the mesoscale numerical prediction models and various
physical process parameterization schemes suitable to
East Asia in models; environment study, including dust
storm formation mechanism, numerical simulations and its
influence on the environment.
Ongoing Projects
the national key basic research and development project
of China (Study on Heavy Rainfall and Tropical Cyclones
in China, Project No:2004CB418301) and the other is
"Study of East Asia Dust Storms".
