“…It appears that baroclinic operational forecasts were not made because the 103, and perhaps other available computers, could not handle the computational requirements of such models. According to Oldham (1969), the Chinese newspapers reported the construction of an "all-purpose digital computer" and more recently, Lubkin (1972) reported that a second-generation computer had been constructed and is presently in use. The latter has a twomicrosecond access time and a main memory of 32,000 words; the machine has a drum memory of 64,000 words; and the input to the computer is by paper tape.…”

The scope of activities and accomplishments in areas of atmospheric dynamics and numerical weather prediction under investigation in the People's Republic of China during the period 1949-1966 is surveyed. The principal topics considered include cumulus and turbulent boundary layer dynamics and the dynamics of meso-, synoptic-, and planetary-scale motions. Attention is focused on the complementary research paths followed in theoretical and numerical dynamics, particularly in relation to the development of operational forecasting models. These latter accomplishments are traced from the late 1950s until mid-1966, at which time overseas distribution of Chinese scientific journals was discontinued. Significant investigations of both regional and global circulation regimes have also been noted. However , a more exhaustive overview of the contributions made by Chinese meteorologists to the theory of the general circulation appears warranted.
