Abstract. We present a tribute to Georg Friedrich Karl Hartung (1821–1891), a less-known, non-academic German geologist, on his 200th birthday anniversary. Influenced by eminent 19th century scientificpersonalities, such as Oswald Heer, Charles Lyell, and Alexander vonHumboldt, he performed pioneer geological observations and sampling in theAzores, Madeira, and Canary Islands volcanic archipelagos. Later in his life, he travelled to the USA and explored the Scandinavian countries. His scientific endeavours were published in several books and papers, many of them co-authored by academic German geologists and palaeontologists. His works on Macaronesia are deemed as classics, and many have been enriched by his detailed geological illustrations.
摘要在乔治·弗里德里希·卡尔·哈通(1821-1891)诞辰200周年之际,我们向这位不太知名的非学术德国地质学家致敬。受19世纪著名科学家的影响,如奥斯瓦尔德·希尔、查尔斯·莱尔和亚历山大·冯·洪堡,他在亚速尔群岛、马德拉群岛和加那利群岛的火山群岛进行了开创性的地质观察和取样。后来,他去了美国,探索了斯堪的纳维亚国家。他的科学研究成果发表在几本书籍和论文中,其中许多是由德国地质学家和古生物学家共同撰写的。他关于马卡罗尼西亚的作品被认为是经典之作,其中许多作品都被他详细的地质插图所丰富。

Abstract. It is currently known that astronomical factors trigger the emergence of glacial and interglacial periods. However, nearly two centuries ago, the overall situation was not as apparent as it was with today’s scientists. In this article, I briefly discuss the astronomical model of ice ages put forward between the 19th and 20th centuries. This century was indeed annus mirabilis for scientists to understand the ice age phenomenon. Agassiz, Adhémar and Croll laid the foundation stones for understanding the dynamics of ice ages. But it was Milankovitch who combined empirical geology with mathematical astronomy. To put specifically, he identified the shortcomings of the preceding ice age models and modified his model accordingly. In what follows, I review former approaches to the ice age problem and show how they failed to meet their objectives. Next, I show how Milankovitch’s model managed to capture all sufficient astronomical elements. Last sections focus on Milutin Milankovitch’s genuine approach, including his accomplishment of tackling the problem mathematically.
摘要目前已知的是,天文因素触发了冰川期和间冰川期的出现。然而,近两个世纪前,总体情况并不像今天的科学家那样明显。在这篇文章中,我简要地讨论了19世纪至20世纪之间提出的冰河时期的天文模型。本世纪确实是科学家理解冰河时代现象的奇迹年。阿加西斯、阿德马尔和克罗尔为理解冰河时期的动力学奠定了基础。但正是米兰科维奇将经验地质学与数学天文学相结合。具体地说,他发现了之前冰河时期模型的缺点,并相应地修改了他的模型。在接下来的文章中,我回顾了以前解决冰河时期问题的方法,并展示了它们是如何未能实现目标的。接下来,我将展示Milankovich的模型是如何捕捉到所有足够的天文元素的。最后几节重点介绍Milutin Milankovich真正的方法,包括他在数学上解决这个问题的成就。

Abstract. At the beginning of the 19th century, meteor observations were not well established. One of its pioneers, who observedmeteors on a regular basis, was Eduard Heis in Münster, Germany. Wesummarise the life of this scientist. Besides his main task of teachingmathematics in Aachen and Münster, he observed atmospheric phenomena and variable stars with exceptional perseverance. He was an editorof Wochenschrift für Astronomie and contributed to the circulation of astronomical reports and knowledge. We focus on his contributions to meteor astronomy, in which he predated the work of Schiaparelli by 30 years.
摘要在19世纪初,流星观测还没有很好地建立起来。其中一位定期观测流星的先驱者是德国米斯特的爱德华·海斯。我们来总结一下这位科学家的一生。除了他在亚琛和梅恩斯特教授数学的主要任务外,他还以非凡的毅力观察大气现象和变星。他是《天文学杂志》的编辑,为天文学报告和知识的传播做出了贡献。我们关注的是他对流星天文学的贡献,在这方面他比夏帕雷利早了30年。

Abstract. The history of the research on the SC (sudden commencement) of magnetic storms before World War II is studied in this paper. Since geomagnetic research activities before World War II are still not yet fully known, this paper aims to reveal some historical facts related to SC investigation at that time. The first conclusion of this paper is the possible first discoverer of the simultaneity of SC at distant locations. We show that a Portuguese scientist had already pointed it out 16 yearsearlier than believed. The second conclusion is the role andactivities of Aikitu Tanakadate as the reporter of the SC investigation committee of STME (Section of Terrestrial Magnetism and Electricity) and IATME (International Association of Terrestrial Magnetism and Electricity) in the IGGU (International Geodetic and Geophysical Union) or IUGG (International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics). Very little was known about his activities as the reporter of this committee. Our investigation at the Tanakadate Aikitu Memorial ScienceMuseum disclosed how he acted and what he thought of SC, based on his frequent letters to and from other scientists. The third conclusion concerns SC research carried out by Japanese scientists during the period of the Second International Polar Year (1932–1933). Not only Tanakadate but also many other Japanese scientists participated in SC research during this international project. This formed a traditional basis of SC investigation in Japan, prompting a number of Japanese scientists to study SC after World War II.
摘要本文回顾了第二次世界大战以前磁暴突然爆发的研究历史。由于第二次世界大战之前的地磁研究活动尚未完全了解,因此本文旨在揭示当时地磁调查的一些历史事实。本文的第一个结论是可能是第一个在遥远地点发现SC同时性的人。我们表明,一位葡萄牙科学家早在16年前就指出了这一点。第二个结论是Aikitu Tanakadate作为国际大地测量与地球物理联合会(IGGU)或国际大地测量与地球物理联合会(IUGG)中STME(地磁与电分会)和IATME(国际地磁与电协会)SC调查委员会的报告人的作用和活动。人们对他作为委员会记者的活动所知甚少。我们在田馆爱奇都纪念科学博物馆的调查揭示了他的行为和他对SC的看法,这是基于他与其他科学家的频繁通信。第三个结论涉及日本科学家在第二个国际极年(1932-1933)期间进行的SC研究。在这个国际项目中,不仅田舍馆,还有许多其他日本科学家参与了SC研究。这形成了日本SC研究的传统基础,促使日本科学家在第二次世界大战后研究SC。

Abstract. As simply based on fundamental logic and on the concepts of cause and effect, an epistemological examination of the geochemical analyses performed on the Vostok ice cores invalidates the marked greenhouse effect on past climate usually assigned to CO2 and CH4. In agreement with the determining role assigned to Milankovitch cycles, temperature has, instead, constantly remained the long-term controlling parameter during the past 423 kyr, which, in turn, determined both CO2 and CH4 concentrations, whose variations exerted, at most, a minor feedback on temperature itself. If not refuted, the demonstration indicates that the greenhouse effect of CO2 on 20th century and today's climate remains to be documented, as already concluded from other evidence. The epistemological weakness of current simulations originates from the fact that they do not rely on any independent evidence for the influence of greenhouse gases on climate over long enough periods of time. The validity of models will, in particular, not be demonstrated as long as at least the most important features of climate changes, namely the glacial–interglacial transitions and the differing durations of interglacial periods, remain unaccounted for. Similarly, the constant 7 kyr time lag between temperature and CO2 decreases following deglaciation is another important feature that needs to be understood. Considered in this light, the current climate debate should be considered as being the latest of the great controversies that have punctuated the march of the Earth sciences, although its markedly differs from the preceding ones by its most varied social, environmental, economical and political ramifications.
摘要简单地说,基于基本逻辑和因果概念,对沃斯托克冰芯进行的地球化学分析的认识论审查使通常归属于CO2和CH4的对过去气候的显著温室效应无效。在过去的423年中,温度一直是长期的控制参数,这与米兰科维奇循环的决定作用一致 kyr,这反过来又确定了CO2和CH4的浓度,其变化对温度本身的影响最大。如果不加以反驳,这一证据表明,二氧化碳对20世纪和当今气候的温室效应仍有待记录,正如其他证据所得出的结论一样。当前模拟的认识论弱点源于这样一个事实,即它们没有依赖任何独立的证据来证明温室气体在足够长的时间内对气候的影响。特别是,只要气候变化的最重要特征,即冰川-间冰期的转变和间冰期的不同持续时间,仍然没有得到解释,模型的有效性就不会得到证明。类似地,常数7 冰川消退后温度和二氧化碳减少之间的kyr时间滞后是另一个需要理解的重要特征。从这个角度来看,当前的气候辩论应该被视为地球科学进程中最新的重大争议,尽管它与之前的辩论有着明显的不同,其社会、环境、经济和政治影响最为多样。

Abstract. Part I of this history describes the motivations for developing radars in the high frequency (HF) band to study plasma density irregularities in the F region of the auroral zone and polar cap ionospheres. French and Swedish scientists were the first to use HF frequencies to study the Doppler velocities of HF radar backscatter from F-region plasma density irregularities over northern Sweden. These observations encouraged the author of this paper to pursue similar measurements over northeastern Alaska, and this eventually led to the construction of a large HF-phased-array radar at Goose Bay, Labrador, Canada. This radar utilized frequencies from 8–20 MHz and could be electronically steered over 16 beam directions, covering a 52 ∘ azimuth sector. Subsequently, similar radars were constructed at Schefferville, Quebec, and Halley Station, Antarctica. Observations with these radars showed that F-region backscatter often exhibited Doppler velocities that were significantly above and below the ion-acoustic velocity. This distinguished HF Doppler measurements from prior measurements of E-region irregularities that were obtained with radars operating at very high frequency (VHF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF). Results obtained with these early HF radars are also presented. They include comparisons of Doppler velocities observed with HF radars and incoherent scatter radars, comparisons of plasma convection patterns observed simultaneously in conjugate hemispheres, and the response of these patterns to changes in the interplanetary magnetic field, transient velocity enhancements in the dayside cusp, preferred frequencies for geomagnetic pulsations, and observations of medium-scale atmospheric gravity waves with HF radars.
摘要这段历史的第一部分描述了在高频(HF)波段开发雷达的动机,以研究极光带F区和极冠电离层的等离子体密度不规则性。法国和瑞典科学家是第一个使用高频频率研究瑞典北部F区等离子体密度不规则性高频雷达反向散射的多普勒速度的人。这些观测结果鼓励了本文作者在阿拉斯加东北部进行类似的测量,最终在加拿大拉布拉多的鹅湾建造了一个大型HF相控阵雷达。该雷达利用了8-20的频率 MHz,并且可以在16个波束方向上进行电子操纵,覆盖52∘方位扇区。随后,在魁北克的谢弗维尔和南极洲的哈雷站建造了类似的雷达。这些雷达的观测结果表明,F区后向散射通常表现出明显高于和低于离子声速的多普勒速度。这将HF多普勒测量与先前在甚高频(VHF)和超高频(UHF)下工作的雷达获得的E区不规则性的测量区分开来。还介绍了用这些早期高频雷达获得的结果。它们包括HF雷达和非相干散射雷达观测到的多普勒速度的比较,共轭半球同时观测到的等离子体对流模式的比较,以及这些模式对行星际磁场变化的响应,白天尖点的瞬态速度增强,地磁脉动的首选频率,以及用高频雷达观测中等规模的大气重力波。

They include comparisons of Doppler velocities observed with HF radars and incoherent scatter radars, comparisons of plasma convection patterns observed simultaneously in conjugate hemispheres, and the response of these patterns to changes in the interplanetary magnetic field, transient velocity enhancements in the dayside cusp, preferred frequencies for geomagnetic pulsations, and observations of medium-scale atmospheric gravity waves with HF radars.","PeriodicalId":48918,"journal":{"name":"History of Geo- and Space Sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":"77-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46569193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract. This paper examines how ionospheric physics emerged as a research specialityin Britain, Germany, and the United States in the first four decades of the20th century. It argues that the formation of this discipline can beviewed as the confluence of four deep-rooted traditions in which scientistsand engineers transformed, from within, research areas connected toradio wave propagation and geomagnetism. These traditions include Cambridgeschool's mathematical physics, Gottingen's mathematical physics, laboratory-based experimental physics, and Humboldtian-style terrestrial physics. Although focused on ionospheric physics, the paper pursues the idea that a dynamic conception of scientific tradition will provide a new perspective for the study of geosciences history.
摘要本文考察了电离层物理学如何在20世纪的头40年里成为英国、德国和美国的一个研究专业。它认为,这门学科的形成可以被看作是四种根深蒂固的传统的融合,科学家和工程师在这些传统中从内部转变了与无线电波传播和地磁相关的研究领域。这些传统包括剑桥的数学物理、哥廷根的数学物理、以实验室为基础的实验物理和洪堡式的陆地物理。虽然本文关注的是电离层物理学,但本文所追求的观点是,科学传统的动态概念将为地球科学史的研究提供一个新的视角。
