Why Is Horace R. Byers Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Horace Robert Byers was an American meteorologist who pioneered in aviation meteorology, synoptic weather analysis , severe convective storms, cloud physics, and weather modification. Byers is most well known for his work as director of U.S. Weather Bureau's Thunderstorm Project in which, among other things, the modern cell morphology and life cycle of a thunderstorm were established. He is also known for his professional involvement with Carl-Gustaf Arvid Rossby and Tetsuya Theodore Fujita.
