DESCRIPTION:This seminar is about the historical future as atmospheric re
 searchers envisioned it in the early decades of the twentieth century\, 
 from the era of Marconi wireless and the Wright flier to digital computi
 ng and the TIROS weather satellite.  It maps the history of weather stud
 ies and charts the pathways by which meteorology became atmospheric scie
 nce.\n\nA 1960 planning document crowed optimistically\, "Our goal is to
  portray everything atmospheric\, everywhere\, always."  In their own wa
 ys and in their own eras\, the protagonists in this story would have agr
 eed.\n\nThis presentation combines intimate story telling with big pictu
 re historiography\, introducing a methodology intended to be interesting
  and useful for historians of all stripes.
