Yibing Xie or Yi-Ping Hsieh, Chinese meteorologist (03 April 1917 – 25 August 1995)

Found that the structure of East Asian front and jet stream was significantly different from that of North America in the Western Hemisphere and that the Asian “tropical front” and associated subtropical jet stream are stronger than those of North America and identified the existence of high-altitude subtropical jet stream in East Asia and their interaction with polar-frontal jet

With Y.Q. Chen. Temperature field and flow field over the western Pacific and northern parts of the East Asian continent in winter. Acta Meteorol. Sinica 22:52-3, 1951

Put forward the concept of Meiyu front

A preliminary survey of certain rain-bearing systems over China in spring and summer. Acta Meteorol. Sinica 27:1-23, 1956

Discovered Madden-Julian oceanic phenomenon (1963) before these researchers (1971)

Concluded that typhoons are more frequent when the equatorial westerly is anomalously strong and biased northward and eastward of its climatological position

Enunciated theory of moist-baroclinic dynamics of the rainfall system and theory of medium-range variation of the general circulation
