中文摘要：

笛卡尔的著作《气象学》一书第一次打破了亚里士多德维持了近两千年的气象学体系,具有开创性的意义。本文系统梳理了《气象学》的主要内容和重要观点,重点介绍了笛卡尔在物质假说、降水、云、风、虹等方面的认识,并围绕笛卡尔的科学研究思想谈了几点思考,希望能给从事科学研究及气象科技史研究的学者提供一些参考。

英文摘要：

The Meteorology which Descartes wrote beat the meteorology system which had lasted for two thousand years by Aristotle in the first time,and has an initiating significance.This paper combed through the views of Meteorology,focusing on the areas of metaphysical theory,rain,cloud,wind,rainbow and so on,and makes reference of the ideas of Descartes,in order to offer some help for the study of meteorological history.
