John R. Mather : a pioneer in the early use of weather radar

Auteur :
LEGATES, D.R.

Description :
Undoubtedly, the legacy of J.R. Mather is inextricably linked to his pioneering research with the climatic water balance and his extensive collaborations with C.W. Thornthwaite. Mather's research focused on the examination of storm trajectories using weather radar, a newly discovered meteorological remote sensing tool. This research, an inherently spatial problem of assessing storm cell size and movement, was both innovative and an appropriate melding of geography and meteorology.
