In the decades after World War I, the development of aviation and meteorology became increasingly entangled, with the result that meteorology became a necessary part of the epistemic infrastructure of routine aviation. This paper explores the complex re‐spatialisation of meteorological practice that occurred as the New Zealand Meteorological Service (NZMS) transformed its data collection, interpretation, and forecasting services to support New Zealand's aspirations for aviation prior to the Second World War. Crucial to this work was the transformation of meteorology's spatialities to incorporate a volumetric understanding of the upper atmosphere's turbulent dynamics. Making meteorology three‐dimensional required profound conceptual and practical work to fashion new spaces of concern. This meant developing instruments and practices through which phenomena, such as high‐altitude winds, could be recorded, mapped, and communicated. However, this spatial transformation was also simultaneously a temporal transformation framed by the demands of becoming infrastructural. New Zealand's meteorologists lobbied the government for the resources to synchronise atmospheric dynamism with the demands for increasingly quick and fine‐grained forecasts. Making the atmosphere three‐dimensional profoundly changed meteorology, but meteorology in New Zealand was only able to become infrastructural to the extent that it was able to integrate, and strategically mobilise, new forms of temporality into its emerging spaces of concern.

使天气垂直：新西兰的气象学和基础设施大气的时空。1920–1950年

第一次世界大战后的几十年中，航空和气象学的发展日益纠缠在一起，结果，气象学成为常规航空知识基础设施的必要组成部分。本文探讨了新西兰气象局（NZMS）转变其数据收集，解释和预报服务以支持新西兰在第二次世界大战前的航空愿望的过程中发生的复杂的气象实践重组。这项工作的关键是将气象学的空间转变为对高层大气湍流动力学的体积理解。要使气象学成为三维，就需要进行深入的概念和实践工作，以形成人们关注的新空间。这意味着要开发仪器和实践，通过这些仪器和实践可以记录，映射和传达诸如高空风等现象。但是，这种空间转换同时也是由基础设施需求构成的时间转换。新西兰的气象学家游说政府提供资源，以使大气动力与对越来越快和更细粒度的预报的需求保持同步。使大气层变成三维的气象学发生了深刻的变化，但是新西兰的气象学只有在能够将新的时间形式整合并从战略上动员到它所关注的新兴空间中的情况下，才能成为基础设施。这种空间变换同时也是由基础设施需求构架的时间变换。新西兰的气象学家游说政府提供资源，以使大气动力与对越来越快和更细粒度的预报的需求保持同步。使大气层变成三维的气象学发生了深刻的变化，但是新西兰的气象学只有在能够将新的时间形式整合并从战略上动员到它所关注的新兴空间中的情况下，才能成为基础设施。这种空间变换同时也是由基础设施需求构架的时间变换。新西兰的气象学家游说政府提供资源，以使大气动力与对越来越快和更细粒度的预报的需求保持同步。使大气层变成三维的气象学发生了深刻的变化，但是新西兰的气象学只有在能够将新的时间形式整合并从战略上动员到它所关注的新兴空间中的情况下，才能成为基础设施。气象学家游说政府提供资源，以使大气动力与对越来越快和更细粒度的预报的需求保持同步。使大气层变成三维的气象学发生了深刻的变化，但是新西兰的气象学只有在能够将新的时间形式整合并从战略上动员到它所关注的新兴空间中的情况下，才能成为基础设施。气象学家游说政府提供资源，以使大气动力与对越来越快和更细粒度的预报的需求保持同步。使大气层变成三维的气象学发生了深刻的变化，但是新西兰的气象学只有在能够将新的时间形式整合并从战略上动员到它所关注的新兴空间中的情况下，才能成为基础设施。
