A memorial hall was opened in Anqing, Anhui province, on Saturday in honor of scientist Ye Duzheng, one of the founders of modern atmospheric science in China.
Ye, who died in 2013 at the age of 98, was a senior academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He was one of two winners of the National Top Science and Technology Award in 2005, a three-time winner of the National Natural Sciences Award and the first Chinese laureate to win the International Meteorological Organization Prize in 2003.
The weather forecast we check on a daily basis is accurate largely thanks to Ye's contribution to the science of meteorology over more than 60 years.
