Summary:
"科技的進展不僅因人類追求生活而改變,也因破壞而產生轉折。二戰期間科學為戰爭服務,不只是我們熟知的原子彈研究,就連最習以為常的「天氣」,也變為專屬國家的武器。當時各國的氣象學者發揮自身所學,為國家提供天氣預報,成為軍事活動的一環。抗戰爆發,氣象情報與作戰的關係越來越密切,氣象觀測部門需要大幅地拓展來適應戰局。特別是1941年12月太平洋戰爭爆發以後,中國與美國成為軍事同盟,美軍派遣專家到中國提供氣象技術援助,不僅改善了觀測的品質,也增進天氣預報的準確性。可以說,這時候中國的氣象發展,有著美國深刻的印記。本書以中國對日抗戰期間,國民政府的幾個機構--航空委員會、中央研究院氣象研究所、中央氣象局、中美特種技術合作所做為分析對象,從國民政府的視角討論戰時中國的氣象事業,以「戰爭」做為推動力,了解其中帶來的氣象技術與制度變遷。" -- from publisher.
