"Best known today [2005] for identifying the long waves that bear his name, the Swedish-born Rossby was a major force in American meteorology for 25 years. Legendary for his charm, his powers of persuasion, his headlong enthusiasms, and his readiness to have a good time no matter what it cost, Rossby was irresistible. His many friends and colleagues spoke of him as a force of nature--chaotic, restless, awe-inspiring, and extremely entertaining." (WEATHERWISE) This article explains how the brilliance of Carl-Gustaf Rossby and the money of the Guggenheims transformed aviation and meteorology.
