A Tribute to Dr. George Reid: From the Mesosphere to the Tropical Tropopause
Dr. Susan Solomon, CIRES Fellow
George Colvin Reid (1929–2011) was an eminent atmospheric scientist who pioneered research into critical environmental issues such as stratospheric ozone depletion and global climate change. Always a progressive thinker, he was one of the initial four fellows who founded the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences in 1968.
A few of George Reid's accomplishments and linkages to current issues in climate change
The first part of this talk will briefly summarize some of George C. Reid's many scientific accomplishments, ranging across the breadth of our atmosphere. The second part will cover current issues in climate change of the tropical lower stratosphere and troposphere, starting with Reid's work but also going beyond it.
