Mintz was among the pioneers who laid the foundation for the present-day numerical models for simulating general circulation of the atmosphere. Cur- rently, these models are being used all over the world for weather and climate predictions, as well as for several scientific studies focused on understanding global change. The community lost a leader of extraor- dinary caliber and devotion, a man who dedicated his life to nurturing understanding of the behavior of the earth-atmosphere system, as well as those of other planets. Only a few other meteorologists have contin- ued innovative research and hard work into their mid- seventies. Yale Mintz earned his B.A. in general humanistic ence on numerical weather prediction; this led Mintz to recognize the talent of a young Japanese scientist studies from Dartmouth College in 1937.
