Brief introduction of tu's life

Tu Wangchang 1929 graduated from Shanghai Hujiang University, and 193 1- 1933 studied at the University of London with a master's degree. 1933- 1934 studying for a doctorate at Liverpool university. 1934 at the invitation of Mr. Zhu Kezhen, he returned to China as a researcher at the Institute of Meteorology, China Academy of Sciences, and successively served as a professor in Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University and Central University. 1949 After the Central University was renamed, it served as the Standing Committee of Nanjing University. 1949- 1962 Director of Meteorological Bureau of Central Military Commission (later central weather bureau).

Tu is a representative of the First and Second National People's Congress, a member of the First and Second China People's Political Consultative Conference, a member of the Standing Committee of the Jiu San Society, a secretary-general and vice-chairman, a secretary of the Secretariat of the China Association for Science and Technology, a member and secretary-general of the All-China Federation of Natural Science Professional Societies, a vice-chairman of the China Meteorological Society, a director and secretary-general of the World Association of Scientists, an academician and member of the China Academy of Sciences, and a foreign member of the Royal Meteorological Society.

Tu is the founder of the meteorological cause in New China, and has made pioneering contributions to the overall planning of meteorological cause. He attached great importance to the development of meteorological cause, especially basic observation, and made important contributions to the construction of meteorological station network in China. He meticulously organized meteorological services, actively carried out scientific research and severe weather forecasting, promoted experimental research on artificial influence on local weather, and advocated the development of meteorological satellites in China. Under his initiative and leadership, the Meteorological Bureau established a joint weather analysis and forecast center and a joint meteorological reference room with relevant universities and scientific research units, vigorously developed weather forecast, predicted dangerous weather in civil aviation, shipping, fishery, salt industry, agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, factories, mines and railways, and actively planned meteorological services such as ocean, environmental protection, hydrology and earthquakes, which played an important role in liberating China, resisting US aggression and aiding Korea and building a large-scale economy, and laid the foundation for China.

Tu devoted himself to meteorological science research for a long time, which initiated the research of long-term weather forecast in China and made important contributions to the research and application of air masses and fronts in China, climate in China and circulation in East Asia. He is knowledgeable and has a broad field of vision, and has made fruitful contributions in agricultural climate, frost forecast, Yangtze River hydrological forecast, climate and human health, China climate and river hydrology, the relationship between soil formation and vegetation distribution, and China population and social economy. He is not only one of the pioneers of weather forecast and climate forecast research in China, but also a powerful leader and main promoter.

Tu has made outstanding contributions to China's meteorological education and personnel training, and has created a group of experts and leading backbones for the development of meteorological undertakings. Many students he trained, such as Ye Duzheng, Xie, Shi Yafeng, Mao, Chen, Huang, have become well-known scholars at home and abroad. At his suggestion, central weather bureau founded Nanjing Meteorological College, the first meteorological college in China, and strongly supported meteorological education in Peking University, Tsinghua University and Nanjing universities. Tu's life is a bumpy life for China to realize democracy and revitalize science, and a life dedicated to the meteorological cause in China. He worked hard for the development of China's meteorological cause, and his noble quality of infinite loyalty to the motherland and people will always be deeply missed by us.

His main works include Climate Regionalization in China, Causes and Sources of Low Pressure in China, Relationship between Atmospheric Operation and World Temperature, China Weather and World Atmospheric Fluctuation and Its Application in the Long-term Forecast of Summer Drought and Flood in China, China Air Mass, Climate Warming in 2 1 century, etc.
