Summary
What I thought about Carl-Gustaf Arvid Rossby is that he was the first to explain the large-scale motions of the atmosphere in terms of fluid mechanics at that time. Also that Rossby came into meteorology and oceanography while studying under Vilhelm Bjerknes in Bergen in 1919. What i thought that was cool that In 1925 Rossby was granted a fellowship from the Sweden-America Foundation to study the application of the polar front theory to American weather. Also that when he died that they would on Time magazine because of his contributions to meteorology. What was also cool was that During World War II, Rossby organized the training of military meteorologists, recruiting many of them to his Chicago department in the post-war years. the thing that really caught my attention was that after the war he visited Professor Hans Ertel, an old friend, in Berlin. Their cooperation led to the mathematical formulation of Rossby waves. Thats what i thought mainly the things that i thought that was interesting for my project.
