%X Pioneering calculations in atmospheric science were performed at the University of Melbourne in 1957&#x2012;1959 by the Master of Science student Dick Jenssen under the supervision of Uwe Radok. These studies, using the University of Melbourne computer CSIRAC, were documented in the Jenssen thesis but without any further publication. The detail of the studies has largely been hidden and the aim of this essay is to present an account of these significant studies to a wider scientific community.
