忆竺可桢副院长的两次谈话

1967年底我们写信给竺副院长,向他请教有关地理所气候学和物候学研究问题。竺老于1968年1月5日在他办公室接见我们。1970年11月26日竺老又来函约我们于11月29日到他家里谈农业气候和物候学问题。这样,我们先后有两次机会倾听竺老对地理学、气候学和物候学研究问题的意见。两次谈话的方式略有不同,第一次是我们主动求见竺老的,所以是采用一问一答的方式;第二次是竺老约见我们的,因此先由竺老询问当时气候室和地理所的研究工作情况,我们一一作了汇报,然后竺老谈了他的看法。

TALKS GIVEN BY PROFESSOR ZHU KEZHEN (CO-CHING CHU) ON CLIMATOLOGICAL STUDIES

In memory of Professor Zhu Kezhen (Co-ching Chu), who died 10 years ago, the authors remembered having, been invited by Professor Zhu two times during 1968-1970 to have some valuable talks on the studies about geography, climatology and phenology. He demonstrated that phenology should be studied in combination with climatology and its base should be put on the works of physiology and biochemistry. He pointed out that the main climatological studies should contributed to the development of agriculture, and that climate resources and climatic changes should be studied with more vigour. He suggested that the great plain in North China should be an interesting area for the Institute of Geography to perform typical experiments in agricultnre. Researches on heat and water balance and meteorological satellite were appreciated by him too.
