Chinook (1978 - 1989)

 

Chinook was a Canadian magazine for those interested in meteorology, published between 1978 and 1989.  It included a mix of feature articles, book reviews and news items, including many articles in French.  Many of these articles stand the test of time, or are of special historical interest.

It was originally founded by Michael J. Newark of Weather Enterprises who published and edited it until Vol. 6 No. 1, 1984, at which time CMOS took ownership of the publication.  CMOS is the copyright holder of Chinook.  The format changed over the years.

The complete Chinook index is published below. All issues have been scanned and are linked from column two. Each issue can be viewed as a pdf document with bookmark indexing and links to the articles from the contents page (usually page three of each issue).

Copies of Chinook are also found in numerous libraries.
Le magazine météorologique Canadien Chinook fut publié entre 1978 et 1989.  Il contenait une variété d’articles, revues de livres et nouvelles, surtout en anglais mais aussi en français.  Plusieurs de ces articles demeurent actuels ou ont un intérêt historique.

Il fut fondé par Michael J. Newark de Weather Enterprises, qui l'a publié et édité jusqu'au volume 6 no. 1, 1984, date où la publication fut transférée à la SCMO.  La SCMO détient les droit d'auteur pour Chinook.  Le format varie donc au cours des années.

L'index complet de Chinook est publié ici-bas. Tous les numéros ont été balayés en pdf et sont reliés à partir de la colonne deux. Chaque numéro est un dossier séparé avec panneau de signets et liens aux articles sur la page d'index (généralement page trois).

On peut trouver de copies de Chinook dans plusieurs bibliothèques.
