摘要

摘要约翰·艾伦·查默斯在英国达勒姆大学度过了40多年，为大气电学做出了重大贡献。大气科学界尤其怀念他那本通俗易懂、富有洞察力的教科书《大气电学》，以及他在电晕电流方面的工作，这些工作至今仍被经常引用。他还指导了超过35名研究生。本文讨论了他的背景、科学贡献以及在英国主要北方大学之一度过的漫长而富有成效的职业生涯中对现代大气科学的重要遗产。

Atmospheric electricity at Durham: the scientific contributions and legacy of J. A. ("Skip") Chalmers (1904-1967)

Abstract. John Alan Chalmers made major contributions to atmospheric electricity over almost 40 years spent at Durham University, UK. He is particularly remembered in the atmospheric science community for his accessible and insightful textbook, Atmospheric Electricity, and his work on corona currents, which are still regularly cited. He also supervised over 35 research students. This article discusses his background, scientific contributions, and significant legacy to modern atmospheric science within the context of a long and productive career spent at one of England's principal northern universities.

期刊介绍： The scope of History of Geo- and Space Sciences (HGSS) is to document historical facts and knowledge and to improve awareness of the history of geoscience. The knowledge of the development of geosciences and their experimental methods and theories in the past can improve our current understanding and may stimulate current research. It is encouraging for young scientists to read biographical material of historical figures in their research area. It is important as well to learn that history of science is an integrated part of the ongoing research in their research area. Another important aim of the journal is the association of historical retrospective and current research.
