Why Is P.A. Sheppard Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Professor Percival Albert "Peter" Sheppard CBE FRS was a Meteorologist at Imperial College, London from 1952 to 1974 and thereafter emeritus professor. He was born in Box, Wiltshire and was educated at City of Bath Boys School and the University of Bristol, graduating with a first class honours BSc in 1927. He stayed on there as a student demonstrator, doing research on the loading of gaseous ions by polar molecules.
