A paradigmatic shift in atmospheric studies?

Recent years have seen a proliferation of books and articles about the philosophy of human geography (see the bibliography in Harvey and Holley, 1981), and yet the philosophy of physical greography and atmospheric studies remains virtually untouched. The search for paradigm shifts within meteorology has never to my knowledge taken place, and the history of ideas within atmospheric studies since climatic determinism remains unresearched. Philosophy is presumably thought to be a waste of time by those studying the atmosphere. The current paradigm of atmospheric studies is undoubtedly positivistic. The subject has a thorough foundation of empirical observation and measurement that has supposedly led to the formulation of irrefutable laws that govern how the atmosphere works. In Kuhn’s terms, meteorology is a mature science governed by
