Zavia Janjic may mostly be remembered for his pioneering
contributions that allowed for the advancement of weather
forecasting, which we witnessed over the last 40 years. In the
scientific community, he is valued for his remarkable knowledge and
intellect that formed the basis of his legacy of innovation, rigour
and achievement in atmospheric science. His accomplishments were
honored with numerous prestigious awards, and his ingenuity,
brightness, kindness and humour kindled respect and dedication in
his many colleagues and students. Upon Zavia Janjics passing,
collaborators and students endeavored to describe his person and
his work by assembling the details of his journey on the narrow
path to true success in science -- a path that is reserved for a
select few. As a young student, Zavia started work on his first
limited area numerical weather prediction model, which became
operational at the Federal Hydrometeorological Institute of the
former Yugoslavia in 1978. Janjic was able to solve several
difficult scientific questions during the model design and
development phase, which helped lay the foundation for his models.
Starting in the mid-to-late eighties, Professor Janjic worked on
parameterisations of numerous physical processes. This work
developed over the longest portion of his career, lasting over 20
years. It included the development of Eta, Weather Research and
Forecasting Nonhydrostatic Mesoscale Model (WRF-NMM) and
Non-hydrostatic Meso-scale Model on B grid (NMMB), which were
National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) weather
prediction models. Readers of this book will also enjoy a reprint
of an interview with Professor Janjic; a professional biography
with Professor Janjics specific contributions and references to
scientific papers; commemorative letters from several directors of
major meteorological centers describing how they saw Professor
Janjics work in atmospheric science; and photos and documents from
Janjics life and work. Interlacing his life story with a working
biography, writers and editors of this book hope to inspire the
coming generation of scientists, as well as provide a timely
tribute to Professor Janjics contribution to atmospheric science.
