Pavle Vujević

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pavle Vujević (1881ā€“1966) was a Serbian geographer and meteorologist, professor of climatology, meteorology, and mathematical geography at the University of Belgrade. He was a founder of the science of micro-climatology, and one of the first in the science of potamology, the study of rivers. He was born at Ruma, in Srem, on the 10th of August 1881. He died at Belgrade in November 1966.

Serbia undertook some significant developments in meteorology with academics Pavle Vujević, Director of Belgrade Observatory, and Milutin Milanković, one of the most renowned scientists of his time, who began his work in the field of climatology.

Vujević is famous for his book Basis of Mathematical and Physical Geography. He wrote about the island of Hvar, and proved that Hvar a is better place for healing than other resorts along the Mediterranean coastline. Also, an outstanding potamological study of the Tisa river was made by Vujović in 1906.

Pavle Vujević was a good friend of Milutin Milanković, noted for his research into climate cycles. When Milanković wanted to start his research in meteorology, he asked Vujević for mathematical estimates.
