Lewis Fry Richardson  

Definition

  • LEWIS FRY RICHARDSON was an innovative Britsh mathematician, physicist, and psychologist who first tried to apply mathematical concepts to weather forecast. Although his method for weather forecasting was not entirely successful during his lifetime, it was rediscovered with the advent of computers and formed the basis for computer-based weather forecast. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Warming and Climate Change; Richardson, Lewis Fry (1881–1953)]
