“…Perhaps even more surprisingly, there are no references to his three Trade Wind papers in the volume on 'Climates of the Oceans' (van Loon, 1984). The first two of those papers are mentioned in Beckinsale's (1965) review of recent trends in climatology and are briefly cited in Barry's (1967) review of models in climatology and meteorology, where his presidential address gets a passing citation because of his mention of Hadley's pioneering work.…”

Climatology was for long a Cinderella specialism within physical geography. Many of its pioneers’ research was in descriptive climatology, set in the regionalism paradigm that dominated geography until the 1960s. As such, much of their work is now only rarely cited. One of those pioneers was Percy Crowe, who sought to change the nature of that descriptive work through a more robust and systematic application of statistical methods. Indeed, he was one of the very first geographers to apply standard statistical techniques and his applications – in three main projects – were the stimulus for one of his students who played a major role in promoting the use of statistical methods more widely in geography from the late 1950s on: Crowe’s influence was much wider and more influential than the citations to his climatological studies suggests. He was also prescient regarding the need for methodological/philosophical changes in human geography.
