Editorial

As we will soon celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Meteorological Society （CMS）,Acta Meteorologica Sinica （AMS）,which was originally named as Bulletin of the Chinese Meteorological Society,has gone through 89 years of development and excitement since her first issue in July 1925.According to archived documents （CMS Editorial Committee,1925）,AMS was founded to report the research findings of Chinese meteorologists,record their recommendations for improving meteorological services,and share their common meteorological interests in order to promote the growth of AMS such that more members could be inspired to conduct atmospheric research and meteorological knowledge would be better disseminated to and benefit the general public.By upholding and carrying forward this purpose,AMS has published many highly valuable scientific papers.Some could be treated as classical articles,which have produced important influences on both domestic and international meteorological communities and the related fields.     

全球变暖大趋势并未改变——话说2012／2013年极寒天气

2004年,一部美国灾难电影《后天》以科幻的手法描绘了地球一天之内突然急剧降温,进入冰川期的撼人场景,故事讲述了气象学家杰史·霍尔在一次科学研讨会上向各国政要指出,温室效应带来的全球变暖将会引发地球空前灾验证,     

气象学教授里德的50年学术生涯

2008年2月4日,86岁的美国气象学家里德在家中辞世。获悉这一消息,狄克（美国学术界都亲切地称里德为Dick）的老朋友Goody认为,里德的去世,标志着美国气象一个时代的结束。也许Goody的话并不能代表所有美国气象学家的观点,但至少在过去50多年的时间里,从美国传统气象向现代气象转变的历程的视角,评价这位强于天气诊断和分析,又快速接受数值天气预报并为之作出巨大贡献的跨越时代的气象学者,这样的说法无疑是准确的,而且在世界气象更广泛的领域也是有意义的。     

气候变化究竟何去何从

王乃仙在2007年3月19日《光明日报》撰文指出，世界气候确实在变，而且过去在变，现在在变，将来还要变。问题是朝着什么方向变？是变好呢，还是“日趋恶化”？对于这个问题，目前各方说法不一。有两种说法比较有代表性。一种是变冷说，也叫“冰河期说”，以日本为代表。日本的气象学家认为高纬度地区变冷是世界气象反常的原因。另一种是变暖说，或者叫“大气热污染说”，     

《气象万千》值得地理教师一读

气象学家、名科普作家林之光先生的《气象万千》一书，值得所有中学地理教师认真一读。     

主编语

大气运动具有复杂的非线性混沌性质,对初值的微小误差表现出高度敏感性,导致天气过程的演变呈现出难以准确预测的随机动力特征,从而难以消除单一数值模式的预报结果与真实大气运动状态之间存在的不确定性偏差。为了解决这一问题,气象学家提出了"集合预报"的概念,并随之发展了具体技术方法,取得了显著效果。
