Tao has more than 35 years of experience in cloud physics and modeling mesoscale convective systems. He is the primary developer of the Goddard Cumulus Ensemble (GCE) model and the leader of the Goddard Mesoscale Modeling and Dynamics Group. Several national and international universities and research institutions are using the GCE model andits results in their research. He has given more than 120 invited talks/visits to 60 different national (US) and international laboratories and universities.
