Christian Junge (1912–1996) is considered by many to be the founder of the modern discipline of atmospheric chemistry. In studies from the 1950s through the 1970s, Junge was able to link chemical measurements in a few scattered locations around the earth and integrate them with meteorology to develop the first global view of the basic chemical and physical processes that control the sources, transport, transformations, and fate of particles and gases in the atmosphere. In this paper we summarize and comment upon a number of Junge’s seminal research contributions to atmospheric chemistry, including his discovery of the stratospheric sulfate layer (known as the Junge layer), his recognition of the relationship between the variability of the concentrations of trace gases and their atmospheric lifetimes, his studies of aerosol size and number distributions, his development of the first quantitative model of tropospheric ozone, and other significant scientific investigations. We also discuss Junge’s professional life, his many international leadership positions and honors, as well as some memories and reflections on his many abilities that led to his outstanding contributions to the science of atmospheric chemistry.

Christian Junge（1912-1996）被许多人认为是现代大气化学学科的创始人。在 1950 年代到 1970 年代的研究中，Junge 能够将地球周围几个分散位置的化学测量结果联系起来，并将它们与气象学相结合，以开发出控制来源、运输和转化的基本化学和物理过程的第一个全球视图，以及大气中粒子和气体的命运。在本文中，我们总结和评论了荣格对大气化学的许多开创性研究贡献，包括他发现平流层硫酸盐层（称为荣格层），他对微量气体浓度变化与他们的大气寿命，他对气溶胶大小和数量分布的研究，他开发了第一个对流层臭氧定量模型，以及其他重要的科学研究。我们还讨论了荣格的职业生涯、他的许多国际领导职位和荣誉，以及对他的许多能力的一些记忆和反思，这些能力导致了他对大气化学科学的杰出贡献。
