Luke Howard, otherwise the man who named the clouds, was a pharmacist and desired to be a Meteorologist. His father, Robert Howard was a professional Quaker and sent him to a Quaker school in Bur ford. He learned Latin but not the major subjects like Science and Mathematics. By learning Latin, he soon created the names for the three types of clouds, Cumulus, Stratus, and Cirrus. When Howard was 11, experienced a Great Fogg, which caught his attention. From that day on, be began to stare outside at the clouds everyday. Later on in his life, Howard published a few popular landmarks such as On the Modification of Clouds, The Climate of London, and the Seven Lectures of Meteorology, which was the first textbook on Meteorology. He was soon elected as a Fellow of The Royal Society when he published The Climate of London. His study on clouds has had a really big impact on science. When he died, Howard's work was soon taken over and expanded by Ralph Abercromby and Hugo Hildebrandsson.
