本文描述了过去一个世纪在我们对大气环流的理解方面取得的一些进展，首先简要总结了20世纪上半叶以来的一些关键发展，但主要集中在世纪中叶斜压不稳定性和准等转动力学的突破开始的时期。除了斜压不稳定性，讨论的主题还包括：静波理论、两层模型的作用、涡旋热通量的标度论证、大尺度涡旋动量通量的微妙性、Eliassen-Palm通量和转换的欧拉平均公式、风暴路径的结构以及对哈德利环流的控制。
Some of the advances of the past century in our understanding of the general circulation of the atmosphere are described, starting with a brief summary of some of the key developments from the first half of the twentieth century, but with a primary focus on the period beginning with the midcentury breakthrough in baroclinic instability and quasigeostrophic dynamics. In addition to baroclinic instability, topics touched upon include the following: stationary wave theory, the role played by the two-layer model, scaling arguments for the eddy heat flux, the subtlety of large-scale eddy momentum fluxes, the Eliassen–Palm flux and the transformed Eulerian mean formulation, the structure of storm tracks, and the controls on the Hadley cell.
