The year 2000 marks the 60th anniversary of the
founding of the Institute of Meteorology at the University of Chicago.
On September 22, 2000 the
Department of the Geophysical Sciences
of the Physical Sciences Division
commemorated
this event by hosting a one-day symposium that celebrated the rich history
of the study of meteorology and other atmospheric sciences here at the
University. Speakers included Drs. Roscoe Braham,
William Gray, G. V. Rao, Richard Lindzen, Joe Pedlosky, and Roger Wakimoto.
Lunch was served in the Goldsmith Room followed
by the showing of two films from Dave Fultz's hydrodynamics lab. When the weather
finally cleared we took a campus tour. The
symposium culminated with a dinner at
the Quadrangle Club where several attendees gave remembrances of their time at
Chicago.
