Un Exemple de l'ús de la meteorologia per difondre l'activitat científica: les memòries d'Agustí Yàñez i Girona per a l'Acadèmia de Ciències de Barcelona a mitjan segle XIX Authors Raimon Sucarrats i Riera Abstract Agustí Yàñez (1789-1857) was one of the most important and influential Catalan scientists in the first half of the XIXth century. He was the Natural Historys professor in the Pharmacy College and in different chairs of Barcelonas University. He was also an active member of different institutions, wrote textbooks on Natural History and presented interesting memories about Chemistry, Mineralogy, Palaeontology and Meteorology to the Academy of Sciences. In the field of Meteorology, Yàñez wrote more than ten memories and many of them were published in the Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences between 1840 and 1841. In those memories, he described Barcelonas climate and studied the effects of meteorological agents in living beings. But, above all, Yàñez tried to make meteorology popular among population and used it as a way to divulge the scientific method.
