Professor Lewis Fry Richardson
Lewis Fry Richardson was an English mathematician, physicist, meteorologist, psychologist and pacifist who pioneered modern mathematical techniques of weather forecasting.
In 1926, Richardson was elected Fellow of the Royal Society for “his knowledge of physics and eminen[ce] in the application of mathematics to physical problemsof the atmosphere and other structures”.
