It is so sad to hear the news. Prof Tao has been a key figure in atmospheric science.

I am lucky to be one of his former students. The three-year (1983-1986) graduate study in IAP under Prof Tao's supervision built a solid foundation for my meteorology career.  Please convey my condolence to Prof Tao's family and Funeral Committee.
