Abstract
RESEARCH in Australia in the fields of meteorology and atmospheric physics has been receiving active attention recently. Present proposals envisage a subdivision of research between the Meteorological Bureau, the University of Melbourne, and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. The Meteoro- logical Bureau is concerned with applied meteorology and climatology for public, economic and defence interests, and is carrying out research on problems connected with its practical functions. During the War it has extended its studies to include intensive investigations in areas to the north of the Australian continent. The School of Meteorology at the University of Melbourne provides theoretical post-graduate training in meteorology, and is undertaking research into problems associated with aeronautical meteorology and other problems of a long-range nature referred to it by the Meteorological Bureau.
