Letter from Thomas George Cowling, to Mr Graddon, regarding a paper 'The thermal equilibrium at the tropopause and the temperature of the lower stratosphere' by R M Goody

Reference number: RR/71/124

Date: August 1948

Description

Sectional Committee: Physics

Has looked at the paper, which contains interesting ideas, but is far too long. Thinks some of the differences of opinion might require further discussion, which would not be suitable for usual refereeing. Asks if a direct approach should be made to the author.
