دانلود کتاب The Atmosphere — A Challenge: The Science of Jule Gregory Charney

This is a tribute to the scientific career and life of Jule G. Charney (1917-1981).

The centerpiece of this memorial volume is a transcription of a taped interview with Jule Charney shortly before his death in 1981. George W. Platzman who also conducted the interview, edited the transcript of the tapes to what is now chapter 2 in this book.

The remainder of this volume is devoted to essays by several highly respected experts in the field of meteorology. Some are dealing with Jule Charney's influence on his field, others with appreciations of specific phases of his work. The volume is completed by reprints of some of Jule Charney's own work.

For those who were fortunate enough to know Jule Charney personally, this volume will be a reminder of his presence. And the Editors hope for other this book will help to flesh out the persona of a name indelibly inscribed in the literature of his field and show the impact Jule Charney had on the modern evolution of dynamic meteorology.
