  Bjerknes (Lunar crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bjerknes is a lunar impact crater that is located in the southern hemisphere on the rugged far side of the Moon.
The crater lies behind the southeastern limb, and beyond the region that is sometimes brough into sight through libration.
By convention these features are identified on Lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Bjerknes crater.

 Bjerknes_Vilhelm
Bjerknes was appointed as a lecturer at the Högskola (School of Engineering) in Stockholm in 1893 then, two years later, he became professor of applied mechanics and mathematical physics at the University of Stockholm.
Bjerknes began to work out a research plan that he would use hydrodynamics and thermodynamics so that, given a particular state of the atmosphere, he would be able to compute its future state.
Bjerknes was dignified in manner, in appearance and in his presentation of his scientific work, but with his dignity he combined a certain modesty and an enthusiasm which both attracted and stimulated younger men.

Milne is a large lunar crater that is located in the southern hemisphere on the far side of the Moon.
The crater floor is somewhat irregular in the northwest part, where the prominent Scaliger crater intrudes into the outer rim, leaving ejecta across the floor.
Further to the northeast is Fermi walled-basin and the impressive Tsiolkovskiy crater.

The total phase of a lunar eclipse is called "totality." THis is when the moon is completely within the earth's umbral shadow.
Bjerknes' father, Vilhelm (who was a mathematician), got together his son Jakob and others to work on the problem of cyclones, while Richardson worked alone to forecast ("postcast") weather in a region of England...both sets (Norwegian school & Richardson) worked on this operational weather forecasting problem via numerical analysis.
Basically, Bjerknes found that weather forecasting should be considered an initial value problem of mathemtical physics and could be carried out by integrating the governing equations forward in time, beginning with the initial, observed state of the atmosphere.
