Why Is Carl-Gustaf Rossby Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Carl-Gustaf Arvid Rossby was a Swedish-born American meteorologist who first explained the large-scale motions of the atmosphere in terms of fluid mechanics. He identified and characterized both the jet stream and the long waves in the westerlies that were later named Rossby waves.
