Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Vilhelm Friman Koren Bjerknes (14 March 1862 9 April 1951) was a Norwegian physicist and meteorologist who did much to found the modern practice of weather forecasting. Born in Christiania, Bjerknes enjoyed an early exposure to fluid dynamics, as his father Carl Anton Bjerknes, in his mathematical research. In 1890, he became assistant to Heinrich Hertz and made substantial contributions to Hertz' work on electromagnetic resonance. In 1895, he became professor of applied mechanics and mathematical physics at the University of Stockholm where he elucidated the fundamental interaction between fluid dynamics and thermodynamics. His major contribution was the primitive equations which are used in climate models. It was this work that inspired both V. Walfrid Ekman and Carl-Gustav Arvid Rossby to apply it to large-scale motions in the oceans and atmosphere and to make modern weather forecasting feasible. Bjerknes himself had foreseen the possible applications as early as 1904.
