个人简介
Douglas (Doug) K. Lilly, a brilliant scientist, exceptional mentor, and wonderful human being, passed from this life at his home on June 24, 2018.
Just before completing his dissertation, Doug had been noticed by Joseph Smagorinsky, who was hiring bright, energetic scientists for the U.S. Weather Bureau's General Circulation Research Laboratory [GCRL, now known as the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL)] in Maryland. Smagorinsky's vision was to carry out the "final step of the computer modeling program: a three-dimensional, global, primitive-equation general circulation model of the atmosphere" that John von Neumann and Jules Charney initiated. Doug joined the group at the GCRL from 1958 to 1964. While at GCRL, in 1967, Doug completed one of his most important contributions, showing how subgrid-scale motions in models of atmospheric flows could be parameterized. Smagorinsky said of Doug's work that he "did invent the essence of LES [Large Eddy Simulation] along the way!" In one form or another, his parameterization is widely used today in numerical modeling of fluid flows in many fields of study.
Doug's interests were not confined to any particular area of meteorology or of nature, for that matter. While at NCAR, he made significant contributions to a wide range of topics including the laboratory studies of vortices and thermals, numerical simulation of turbulence, the theory of mountain waves, dynamics of downslope windstorms, and observational meteorology. In 1968, he published a seminal paper on the topic of his first meteorological interest, stratocumulus. In 1981, his interests had begun to include mesoscale meteorology. In 1982, Doug and Judy felt it was time for a change, and because of Doug's interest in mesoscale meteorology, they considered the University of Oklahoma (OU) as a possible place for him to join academia.
