1898-1957 Swedish meteorologist who defined the upper atmospheric wave dynamics (later called the Rossby Wave), which generates surface frontal systems, and later discovered the associated jet stream upper level winds, which he further theorized as...

Carl-Gustaf Arvid Rossby (Stockholm 28 December, 1898 – Stockholm 19 August, 1957) was a Swedish-U.S. meteorologist who first explained the large-scale motions of the atmosphere in terms of fluid mechanics. Rossby came into meteorology and...

ABSTRACT This article presents an overview of the advances in mesoscale prediction from the time of Rossby to the present and an outlook for the future. The first part traces the evolution of research and forecasting based upon the conservation of certain properties...

A brilliant powder blue sky fills the screen. A beat of silence then a distant mosquito-like whine quickly amplifies into the unmistakable drone of an old propeller plane. Out of nowhere, an enormous rectangular wing slices across the screen. There is just time...
