All Meteorologist

The scientists whose primary documented field is short-term atmospheric and weather science: Vilhelm Bjerknes, Jacob Bjerknes, Carl-Gustaf Rossby, Tetsuya Fujita, Edward Norton Lorenz and Robert FitzRoy among them. Belongs here: a scientist whose primary contribution is weather forecasting, storm science, atmospheric dynamics or a wind or storm intensity scale, including Francis Beaufort, whose defining contribution is the Beaufort Wind Scale despite a Hydrographer occupational label. Does not belong here: a scientist whose primary contribution is long-run climate pattern or reconstruction rather than short-term weather, held under Climatologist instead.
