气候学发展历程的回顾与若干启示

Review and Enlightenment of the Climatology Development Process

在人类对气候的漫长认知过程中,因涉及学科之广、贡献人物之多、关键事件之复杂导致后人试图完整准确地把握其脉络走向的努力极为困难。这就使得梳理古今中外几千年以来气候学的发展进程变得尤为重要,也成为气候学学科建设不可或缺的重要组成部分。本文试图在前人大量研究成果基础上,回顾气候学发展历程中的重要事件和关键人物,以时间脉络为主线,勾画出人类认识气候的基本轮廓,并以此为基础探讨其对当代气候学发展的启示。

The long course of human study of climate and its history has involved a great number of experts examining a wide range of subjects and a complicated set of incidents. All of them have attempted to comprehend the logical chain of climate development. The development process of climate for thousands of years has led to the construction of a climatology discipline. Based on a large number of previous studies, this paper attempts to review the significant incidents and people along the development course of climatology in the temporal context. It will finally resolve how human beings understand climate and contribute to the discussion of contemporary climatological development.
