Zajimavej kratkej paper o historii klimatickyho vyzkumu v Cine
#China #CinaAnother scientist who shared this view of China’s
climate as being related to global long-term cycles and
a recent warming trend was Tu Changwang (1906–1962).
Tu, at the request of Zhu Kezhen, returned to China from
studying in the UK in the 1930s and became a leading
figure in Chinese meteorological research. In a particularly
noteworthy article in the People’s Daily in January 1961
entitled “On the issue of climate change in the twentieth
century” (关于二十世纪气候变暖的问题), Tu underscored
the fact that international meteorologists had calculated
that the annual average temperature of the earth rose
by 0.33 degrees between 1910 and 1940. He subsequently
issued an early warning to the leadership about the risk
of potential negative effects of continued climate change.7
In many respects, Tu Changwang became one of the most
influential scientists in the field through his mentoring of
a group of meteorologists and atmospheric physicists that
became a core of the climate science community in China
in the late twentieth century.8
