Ball's Self-promotion Presumptuous Twaddle [2]
As recently as Monday Feb 5, 2007, the presumptuous Dr. Tim Ball was still advertising himself [7] as "the first Canadian PhD in climatology."
Here, for the record, is an incomplete list of Canadian climatologists, all of whom received their climatology PhDs before Ball (1983). Each of these has a list of publications and accomplishments that should leave the good Dr. Ball feeling chastened, if not humiliated, when he tries to pass himself off as a Canadian expert.

"The long-term goal of my research is to understand the factors responsible for the wide compositional variability of marine sediments, the controls on organic matter burial and nutrient utilization in the ocean, and to use this information to interpret past oceanographic and climatic changes from sediment core records. Specifically, I am examining:
1. Holocene climate variability along the northeastern Pacific coast at decadal and centennial resolution;
2. Millennial variability of oceanographic and climatic conditions in the northeastern Arabian Sea and their relationship to the high-resolution ice core records from Greenland and Antarctica;
3. The influence of changes in monsoon strength in the South China Sea on terrestrial climate and ocean conditions;
4. Glacial-interglacial palaeoceanographic records of variations in upwelling, nutrient utilization and carbon accumulation on the California continental margin.
A combination of organic, inorganic and stable isotopic information is used to reconstruct past sea surface temperatures, plankton production, terrestrial sediment supply and transport modes, nutrient utilization and bottom water oxygen concentrations."

Thesis topic: On the maintenance of the axisymmetric part of the flow in the atmosphere, Journal Pure and Applied Geophysics 95: 163-185, 1972

Summary The maintenance of the axisymmetric component of the flow in the atmosphere is investigated by means of a steady-state, quasi-geostrophic formulation of the meteorological equations. It is shown that the meridional variations in the time-averaged axisymmetric variables can be expressed as the sum of three contributions, one being due to the eddy heat transport, another to the eddy momentum transport, and a third to the convective-radiative equilibrium temperature which enters the problem through the specification of a Newtonian form of diabatic heating. The contributions by the large scale eddies are evaluated through the use of observed values for the eddy heat and momentum transports….

Kenneth "Hare was a meteorologist with the British air ministry during World War II, and emigrated to Canada in 1945. He joined McGill University as a geography professor, meanwhile earning his PhD as an arctic climatologist. In 1959, his team of arctic weather specialists joined a group of radar physicists headed by Dr. J. Stewart Marshall to form McGill's highly successful Department of Meteorology (now the Department of Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences).
Over the next decades, Hare was professor and dean of arts and science at McGill University, master of Birkbeck College at the University of London, president of the University of British Columbia, Chancellor at Trent University, and professor at the University of Toronto. For the past 10 years he has chaired the national Climate Program Planning Board.
Hare's research interests include atmospheric carbon dioxide, climate change, drought, and arid zone climates. He has been active in movements to protect the natural environment, serving on commissions and committees on acid rain, desertification, heavy metals, nuclear reactors and waste products, ozone, greenhouse gases and climate change. He was a member of the Research and Development Advisory Panel of Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. and has conducted studies on nuclear waste management in Sweden and France.
Hare believes the most urgent environmental challenge facing Canada this century is climate change created by the consumption of fossil fuels. He is a promoter of nuclear power, correctly used, as a more acceptable power source. Hare is a vigorous public speaker and writer on these issues.

From Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, McGill University [23]:
Professor Mysak is director of the Earth System Modelling Group which is part of the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences. The main goal of the research in the ESMG is to develop and apply reduced complexity models of the Earth system (see publications below, Claussen et al., 2002) to better understand decadal and longer term climate variability and change. Analysis of climate data and data-model intercomparison studies are also important activities of the ESMG. Currently, the ESMG is working with two Earth system models, namely, the UVic Earth System Climate model version 2.6 and a simplified global model with the ocean carbon cycle.

"Dr. Timothy Oke is a recognized leader in the study of microclimates and is the foremost authority on urban climates. His research focuses on seeking to understand the way humans alter climates through urban development. Specifically, exchanges of heat, moisture, pollutants and momentum in cities are measured and their effects on temperature, humidity, winds, and other climate factors are assessed. This leads him, for example, to assess the way the cumulative effect of every new building, road and garden creates the heat island effect of whole cities.
Since 1978, Tim has been a Professor of Geography at the University of British Columbia. He was the founder and chair of the U.B.C. Atmospheric Science Programme. From 1991 to 1996, he was the Head of the Department of Geography. Tim was selected as the Professor of the Year by the Geography Students Association in 2001. In 2002, he received the American Meteorological Society's Award for Outstanding Achievement in Biometeorology in recognition of his contributions to the teaching, theory and applications of knowledge on the interaction between atmosphere and biological systems.
At the University of British Columbia, Tim teaches meteorology and climatology, agricultural and forest climates, urban climates and urban biophysical environments. He also serves as a meteorological consultant on legal cases, appeals to boards and environmental matters, and as an advisor to government organizations and business."
