Bergen School of Meteorology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "Bergen School of Meteorology" is a school of thought which is the basis for much of modern weather forecasting.
Founded by the meteorologist Prof. Vilhelm Bjerknes and his younger co-workers in 1917, the Bergen School attempts to define the motion of the atmosphere by means of the mathematics of interactions between hydro- and thermodynamics, some of which had originally been discovered or explained by Bjerknes himself, thus making mathematical predictions regarding the weather possible by systematic data analysis.
[edit] Bjerknes' assistants during the period 1917-1926:
- Jacob Bjerknes
- Halvor Solberg
- Tor Bergeron
- Carl-Gustaf Rossby
- Sverre Petterssen
- Erik Palmén
- Erik Bjōrkdal
- Svein Rosseland
- Carl Ludvig Godske
- Johan Sandström
