在氣象技術體系中，氣象儀器無疑是最主要的技術形態之一。17世紀初，歐洲興起了氣象觀測的“製器革命”，推動氣象事業進入近代化階段，中西技術差距自此形成並逐漸擴大。鴉片戰爭以後，隨著外國氣象臺在華的陸續建立以及氣象觀測與預報工作的深入開展，歐式氣象儀器引進呈現規模化、系統化與精密化等特徵，其技術工藝和原理也得以廣泛傳播。基於以上背景，本講以清代為中心，對歐式氣象儀器及其工藝原理傳入的階段、特點、效應等進行闡述。
In the system of meteorological technology, the meteorological instrument is undoubtedly one of the most important forms of technology. At the beginning of the seventeenth century, the rise of the “revolution of instrument making” for meteorological observations in Europe promoted the modernization of the meteorological industry and gradually formed and expanded a technological gap between China and the West. After the Opium War, with the establishment of meteorological observatories by foreigners in China and the improvement of meteorological observation and forecasting, the introduction of European meteorological instruments was characterized by scale, systematization and precision, and their technological craftsmanship and principles were also widely disseminated. Based on the above background, this talk will focus on the stages, features and effects etc. of the introduction of European meteorological instruments and their technological craftsmanship.
