* [[Jacob Bjerknes]], son of the former, who attended the Norwegian school and who studied the [[El Niño]] phenomenon. He linked the latter to the Southern Oscillation.<ref>[http://library.thinkquest.org/20901/overview_3.htm ''Jacob Bjerknes – the Synthesizer''] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110415235708/http://library.thinkquest.org/20901/overview_3.htm |date=15 April 2011 }} (University of Washington)</ref><ref>[http://www.snl.no/.nbl_biografi/Jacob_Bjerknes/utdypning ''Jacob Bjerknes''] (Norsk biografisk leksikon)</ref>
* [[Daniel Draper (meteorologist)|Daniel Draper]], inventor of a number of important weather measurement devices including a self-recording wind direction and velocity instruments, self-recording dry and wet bulb thermometers, a hygrograph, a self-recording rain gauge, a sun thermometer, and a weighing mercurial barograph.<ref>[http://waywiser.fas.harvard.edu/people/6997/daniel-draper;jsessionid=26F71DE5F0DF92D336F193CE89CCDC56 Daniel Draper], The Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments, [[University of Harvard]]</ref>

* [[James Stagg]], RAF meteorologist who was responsible for three teams of meteorologists predicting a lull for June 6, 1944, which allowed the landings in Normandy.<ref>{{cite news |last=Buttle |first=Cameron |date=5 June 2019 |title=The RAF weathermen who helped save D-Day |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-48498383 |work=BBC Scotland |access-date=9 June 2019}}</ref>
* [[Carl-Gustaf Rossby]], was a Swedish meteorologist foremost known for identifying and characterizing the waves seen in [[jet streams]] as well as in the [[westerlies]] in the earth's atmosphere, known as [[Rossby wave]]s, or planetary waves. Rossby was featured on the cover of ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine on December 17, 1956, for his contributions to the field.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://content.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19561217,00.html|title=Time Magazine Cover: Carl-Gustaf Rossby|date=December 17, 1956|access-date=March 5, 2020}}</ref> The highest award of the [[American Meteorological Society]], of which Rossby was also a recipient in 1953, is named after him ([[Carl-Gustaf Rossby Research Medal]]).
* [[Ted Fujita]], a Japanese meteorologist well known for his studies on tornadoes and downburst, and the invention of the Fujita scale. He first studied the nuclear bomb dropped on [[Fat Man|Nagasaki]], which helped his future research on [[Downburst|downbursts]]. He did very detailed studies on multiple tornado events, giving detailed descriptions on how tornadoes form and become strong.<ref name="BAMS">{{cite journal |date= January 1, 2001 |title=A Tribute to the Works of T.
