An Example of Using Meteorology as a Way to Divulge Scientific Activity: The Memories of Agustí Yàñez for Barcelona's Sciences Academy in the Middle of the XIXth Century Summary: 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 History's professor in the Pharmacy College and in different chairs of Barcelona's 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 Barcelona's 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. Key words: Agustí Yàñez, History of Meteorology, History of Science, Barcelona in XIXth century, Science divulgation
