Dr. Battan was a scientist who worked for the U.S. Air Force in World War Two, the
Weather Bureau at the University of Chicago, and finally as a professor and head of the
Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Arizona. He was an authority on
weather modification in both the U.S. and the Soviet Union. This collection contains
research, data, publications, manuscripts, and correspondence of Battan's from
1946-1986. Subjects include weather modification, cloud physics, radar meteorology, the
Thunderstorm Project, the Arizona Cloud Seeding Project, backscattering experiments, and
scientific organizations related to those fields. Papers relating to conferences,
meetings, lectures, and committee notes for various weather-related scientific
organizations make up a large portion of the collection. | | | | Repository: | University of Arizona Libraries, Special Collections | | | | Subjects: | Meteorology | Radar meteorology | Rain-making | Cloud Physics | Thunderstorms | Doppler radar | Weather Control | | | | Similar Items: | Find Similar Guides |
