Description: (American Meteorologist Who First Explained the Large-Scale Motions of the Atmosphere in Terms of Fluid Mechanicsgist)
Carl-Gustaf Arvid Rossby was a prominent meteorologist who made groundbreaking contributions to atmospheric science. He was instrumental in explaining atmospheric motions using fluid mechanics and is particularly known for identifying and defining the jet stream and Rossby waves. His work revolutionized the understanding of atmospheric dynamics and laid the foundation for modern meteorology. Rossby's contributions continue to have a lasting impact on weather forecasting and atmospheric science.
