In the summer of 1980, Elmar R 
Reiter traveled to Beijing (Peking) to 
attend an international symposium on 
the role of the Tibet plateau in meteor- 
ology. Afterward, he and a group of 
other scientists crossed the plateau by 
car and jeep as guests of the govern- 
ment of the People’s Republic of China. 
That trip not only provided him with a 
new perspective on computer modeling 
of global weather patterns, but also 
gave him the opportunity to indulge his 
hobby of photography. Reiter, who 
holds a Ph.D. in meteorology and geo- 
physics, is a senior professor in the De- 
partment of Atmospheric Science at 
Colorado State University in Fort Col- 
lins. He is the author of “Rapid Rivers 
of Air, ’’ an article on jet streams that 
appeared in the March 1975 issue of 
Natural History.
