半个世纪的云雾、降水和人工影响天气研究进展

The advance of research on cloud, fog, precipitation and weather modiftcation in the Institu-te of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in the latest half century is reviewed and sum-marized in this article. Close to the national economy needs and the international advanced research pro-jects, problems that being raised, ways in research, innovation thoughts, and the results got in each field such as cloud and precipitation physics, cloud dynamics, cloud and precipitation numerical simula-tion, cloud chemistry and acid rain, thunderstorm detecting and thunder and lightning physics, and weather modification, etc.are discussed exactly in scientific viewpoint. The paper favors at last a way rising from observation facts to theory with practice and theory united. Achievement is presented. Those representative scientific papers are also listed in the reference.
