5 days ago · Jacob Bjerknes was a Norwegian American meteorologist whose discovery that cyclones (low-pressure centres) originate as waves associated with sloping weather fronts that separate different air masses proved to be a major contribution to modern weather forecasting.
Jacob Bjerknes is credited with determining the link between El Niño and and the Southern Oscillation. Son of the world renowned meteorologist Vilhelm Bjerknes, Jacob Bjerknes is primarily recognized for his work in developing the theoretical cyclone model as part of the "Bergen School" during the 1920's.
Quick Reference. (1897–1975) Norwegian meteorologist. Bjerknes was the son of Vilhelm Bjerknes (1862–1951), a theoretical physicist who developed some of the first mathematical models of atmospheric and oceanic motions. Jacob followed the example of his father in studying meteorology.
The son of Vilhelm Frimann Koren Bjerknes, Jacob Aall Bonnevie Bjerknes was born in Stockholm and, during World War I, helped his father organize the network of weather stations that supplied the data they used to develop their theories of air masses and polar fronts. Jacob also discovered that depressions originate as waves on fronts. In
Nov 22, 2016 · Jacob Bjerknes and the future of weather forecasting were born in same year. That year, 1897, Jacob’s father Vilhelm had a breakthrough: he figured out a theorem that describes the motion of a vortex in a non-homogenous fluid—like the air masses interacting in our atmosphere.
Jacob Aall Bonnevie Bjerknes was a meteorologist. He is known for his key paper in which he pointed the dynamics of the polar front, mechanism for north-south heat transport and for which he was also awarded a doctorate from the University of Oslo.
