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.

克里斯蒂安·荣格（Christian Junge，1912-1996）被许多人认为是现代大气化学学科的创始人。在 20 世纪 50 年代到 70 年代的研究中，Junge 能够将地球上一些分散地点的化学测量联系起来，并将其与气象学相结合，从而开发出控制来源、传输和转化的基本化学和物理过程的第一个全球视图。 ，以及大气中颗粒和气体的归宿。在本文中，我们总结并评论了荣格对大气化学的一些开创性研究贡献，包括他对平流层硫酸盐层（称为荣格层）的发现，他对微量气体浓度变化与大气化学之间关系的认识。它们的大气寿命、他对气溶胶大小和数量分布的研究、他开发的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，以及对他对大气化学科学做出杰出贡献的许多能力的一些记忆和反思。
