摘要
Meteorology has been defined by its struggles to assemble systems to measure and inscribe the atmosphere as a three dimensional volume. This short communication examines the aerological observations made at the Apia Observatory in Western Samoa during the early 1920s. It focuses on the largely unknown work of the meteorologist Andrew Thomson. In sketching his work with weather balloons the paper argues that we need to take greater account of the non-human actors and materials enrolled to make scientific work possible, and of the largely invisible work of creating and maintaining the heterogeneous relationships between scientists and the other actors enrolled in the practice of science.
