Description: (British Physicist and Meteorologist Who Conducted Extensive Research on Trade-Wind Currents)
George Hadley was an English lawyer and amateur meteorologist credited with proposing the atmospheric mechanism known as Hadley circulation. His work significantly influenced European sailing vessels navigating to North American shores by revolutionizing the understanding of atmospheric circulation patterns and their impact on global weather systems. Hadley's curiosity about the deviation of winds from their expected direction led him to unravel this mystery, leaving a lasting legacy in the field of meteorology.
