| Abstract: | On 16 March 2004, we received an appeal from Dr. Qing WANG of the United States' Naval Postgraduate School questioning the legitimacy of the paper entitled, Modeling Marine Stratocumulus with a Detailed Microphysical Scheme, that was published by ZHAO Chunsheng and Yutaka Ishizaka in the January 2004 issue of the Advances in Atmospheric Sciences (AAS). She pointed out that the model described in the paper was developed by her group in which the first author, Dr. Zhao, worked as a visiting scholar during February 1997-February 1998. The authors should not have claimed in the paper that they developed the model. In particular, they should not have published her group's work as their own. Thus, Dr. Wang requested that the paper be retracted from AAS. |
