They include work on optical scintillation that led to laser wind-measurement devices and laser weather identifiers; the development of the theoretical limitations for Radio Acoustic Sounding Systems (RASS) that led to the implementation of RASS on radar wind profilers; studies of acoustic propagation in the ocean and acoustic scintillation that led to ocean current measurement instrumentation; and work in atmospheric acoustics that contributed to the understanding and interpretation of acoustic echo sounder records.

In 1989, he led the first American delegation to visit the closed city of Tomsk, Siberia, and he organized exchange agreements with the Institute of Atmospheric Optics in Tomsk, the Main Geophysical Observatory in Leningrad, and the Institute for Atmospheric Physics in Moscow. He was particularly gratified when, through his efforts, a team of scientists headed by Academician Valeryan Tatarskii relocated to Boulder, Colorado, to collaborate with ETL scientists on fundamental studies of propagation and scattering phenomena.
