About the Author

Yale Mintz was among the pioneers who laid the foundation for the present-day numerical models of the general circulation of the atmosphere. Currently, these models are being used all over the world for weather and climate predictions, as well as for scientific studies focusing on the global atmosphere. He was one of the five recipients of the 1967 Meisinger Award of the American Meteorological Society and in 1990 he received the Rossby Research Medal, the highest award of the American Meteorological Society, "for preeminent leadership in the global modeling of climate, and for inspiring tutelage of several generation of scientists."
