Wang Pengfei’s profile

Professor of Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, director of the Meteorological History Research Association of the Chinese Meteorological Society, native of Ningbo, Zhejiang. Born in Shanghai in December 1920, he graduated from the Meteorology Department of National Central University in 1945. He is a famous atmospheric physicist and meteorological historian. He has made great achievements in meteorological dictionary compilation, terminology research and meteorological science popularization work. He has successively served as an engineer of the Central Meteorological Administration, deputy director of the Compilation Office, deputy director of the Publicity and Publication Department, deputy director of the Meteorology Department of Nanjing Meteorological Institute, director of the Department of Meteorological Physics, honorary director and consultant for the institute's journal. In 1985, he participated in a visit to Japan by the Chinese Meteorological Society and gave a report on the history of Chinese meteorology at the Tsukuba Meteorological Research Institute in Japan. In 1986 and 1987, he was appointed as a member of the editorial board of the "History of Science and Technology in China" and served as a member of the Jiangsu Provincial Political Consultative Conference. Member of the Standing Committee of the fourth and fifth terms. In 1985 and 1990, he was awarded the title of Nanjing Model Worker and the National Meteorological System Model Worker respectively, and enjoyed special government subsidies. At 14:38 on March 25, 2011, he died in Nanjing due to ineffective treatment. He was 91 years old.

He was the only graduate of the first class of the Department of Meteorology of Central University who graduated before liberation. He has made a significant contribution to the meteorological cause of New China; he is one of the founders and founders of Nanjing Meteorological Institute. First, the three-foot podium contains his hard work and sweat; he is an authority in the study of Chinese meteorological history, and the long historical scrolls contain his glorious poems; he is a famous predecessor in the popularization of meteorological science in our country, and meteorology has entered thousands of households. His indelible achievements. He is devoted to science, pursues the truth, carefully educates talents, is willing to serve as a ladder for others, has noble academic ethics, and treats others with humility. He is widely loved by students and deeply respected by his colleagues. He is Wang Pengfei, who is nearly 90 years old and once worked in the Department of Atmospheric Physics of our school. professor.

As one of the pioneers and founders, Professor Wang has put a lot of effort into Nanjing Institute of Meteorology (now Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology). In 1960, Zhu, together with Zhou, Wang Pengfei and Feng Xiuzao, were responsible for the establishment of the Nanjing Meteorological Institute and the establishment of the earliest three departments respectively - the Department of Weather Dynamics, the Department of Atmospheric Physics and the Department of Agricultural Meteorology. Since then, he has worked tirelessly for the construction and development of the school, and has gone through nearly half a century with the school. When the major of atmospheric physics needed to teach cloud and precipitation physics, he was the first to take on the task of opening a new course. He read a large amount of domestic and foreign materials and wrote a 700,000-word handout; when air pollution became a He took the initiative to volunteer and completed the compilation of the "Air Pollution Compendium" lecture notes within half a year, and was the first to assume the teaching task of the "Pollution Meteorology" course. He has been working on the front line of school teaching and research for more than thirty years. He has written more than ten textbooks with millions of words, and taught three basic courses and six professional courses. He has long been engaged in research on cloud physics, artificial weather modification, etc., and put forward the research theory of weather guidance.

When he was over sixty years old, he could have enjoyed a leisurely old age at home, but he was still passionate about scientific research and resolutely devoted himself to the relatively "unpopular" field of meteorological history. He devoted himself to research and achieved remarkable results. He inherited and enriched Mr. Zhu Kezhen’s research on the history of Chinese meteorology, discovered many new convincing materials, and published many influential monographs and papers. The report he made was well received by relevant experts at home and abroad. In order to respect history and objective facts, he not only consulted a large number of documents, but also often went out for field inspections. In his sixties, he still went to Guangzhou, Xi'an, Urumqi, Lianyungang and other places for on-site investigation of historical sites and obtained valuable first-hand information. He said with a smile: "Foreigners are studying the history of Chinese meteorology. Why can't the Chinese study the history of foreign meteorology? I am sixty years old. I am willing to do the work that others are not willing to do." His pioneering research It has filled the gap in the research on meteorological history in my country and brought the research on meteorological history in my country to the international advanced level. Among them, Mr. Wang has a strong sense of mission as a scholar and his loyalty to the meteorological cause of the motherland.

What is admirable is that Professor Wang, now nearly 90 years old, is still determined and struggling. He also published several articles last year. He often said: "The reason why I can do some work for the meteorological cause of my motherland is entirely due to the party. I am a son of the motherland, and I will devote my whole body and soul to the meteorological cause of the motherland." On his 80th birthday, he expressed his deep feeling Thanks to his lovely motherland, he said, "Because of the development of the motherland, it is possible for me to develop my talents." He also once said to Professor Zhang Peichang: "When a person is old, he cannot do nothing. Only by doing something can it be meaningful to society.
