	Jacob Bjerknes biography
		Jacob Aall Bonnevie Bjerknes was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1897.
		Vilhelm Bjerknes returned to Norway in 1918 and founded a geophysical institute at the University of Bergen, where he organized an analysis and forecasting branch which would evolve into a weather bureau by 1919.
		Bjerknes, then head of the department of meteorology at UCLA, was an early advocate of using photography from rockets to image atmospheric weather patterns, and he would later help usher in the use of satellites for the same purpose.

		"VILHELM BJERKNES (1862-), Norwegian physicist, son of Carl Anton Bjerknes, professor of mathematics in the university of Christiania, was born in 1862, and was educated at the university of Christiania.
		He became at a very early age assistant to, and collaborator with, his father, who had discovered by mathematical analysis the remarkable apparent actions at a distance between pulsating and oscillating bodies in a fluid, and their analogy with the electric and magnetic actions at a distance.
		Continuing his experiments at the university of Christiania (1891-2), he proved experimentally the influence which the conductivity and the magnetic properties of the metallic conductors exert upon the electric oscillations, and measured the depth to which the electric oscillations penetrate in metals of different conductivity and magnetic permeability (the " skin effect ").

		Vilhelm's focus was on the practical application of mathematically defining and analyzing atmospheric conditions with the goal of "precalculation of its [the atmosphere's] future states"--that is, accurate weather forecasting.
		Vilhelm believed he was on to something big--the birth of the science of the motion of the atmosphere, "dynamic meteorology." And his plans were ambitiously comprehensive.
		Vilhelm returned to teaching at Kristiania by 1907, honing his meteorological theories on the side for a 1909 kickoff of regular lecturing on dynamic meteorology.

		Young Vilhelm believed that continuing work with his father would be detrimental to his career, a tough decision for a son who was devoted to his father.
		Together, Hertz and Bjerknes conducted a comprehensive study of electrical resonance (an effect in which the resistance to the flow of an electrical current becomes very small over a narrow frequency range) that was influential in the development of radio.

	EGU - Vilhelm Bjerknes
		The medal is named after Vilhelm Bjerknes (1862-1951), one of the leading atmospheric scientists of the first half of this century.
		In the 1890's, when he was professor of mechanics and mathematical physics in Stockholm, he became aware that the classical hydrodynamic theory for inviscid fluids, culminating in Helmholtz' and Kelvin's vortex conservation theorems, is based on a restricted fluid model where the density distribution is necessarily barotropic.
		With the introduction of this generalized fluid dynamics which he termed "physical hydrodynan-tics", Bjerknes had laid the theoretical foundation for the study of motions in the atmosphere and the oceans with their baroclinic density distributions.

		Bjerknes was 55 years old at the time and most historians agree this is where Bjerknes did his best work, continuing his research into the mathematical approach to weather forecasting.
		Bjerknes, in collaboration with his son Jacob and other scientists at the Bergen School in Norway, developed the polar front theory.
		Bjerknes made his final move in 1926 when he accepted the chair of the Department of Applied Mechanics and Mathematical Physics at the University of Oslo (Kristiania was renamed Oslo in 1925).

		Vilhelm Bjerknes made seminal contributions to the foundation of dynamic meteorology as a mathematically exact modern science with his theory of "physical hydrodynamics," while expanding practical meteorology with the development of synoptic meteorology and formula-based weather forecasting techniques.
		Bjerknes settled into a professorship of applied mechanics and mathematical physics at the University of Stockholm in 1895, during which time he decided to return to hydrodynamics and his father's research but with limited success in the latter regard.
		Bjerknes was offered the chair of a new geophysical institute at the University of Leipzig in 1912, and several of his young collaborators followed him there to do research on storm movement forecasting, which was the most practical application in contemporary meteorology.

		He was part of a group of meteorologists led by Vilhelm Bjerknes developed the model that explains the generation, intensification and ultimate decay (the life cycle) of midlatitude cyclones, introducing the idea of fronts, that is, sharply defined boundaries between air masses.
		Bjerknes was a support meteorologist when Roald Amundsen made the first crossing of the Arctic in the airship Norge in 1926.

		Bjerknes returned to Norway in 1907 as a professor at Kristiania (the spelling had been changed) University and, in 1910 and 1911, he and three of his assistants (the Swedish meteorologist Johan W. Sandström and the Norwegians Olaf D. Devik and T. Hesselberg) published Dynamic Meteorology and Hydrography.

		I denne kronikken blir det gjort greie for Vilhelm Bjerknes' visjoner for værvarsling, visjoner som direkte kan utvides til klimaforskning.
		Bjerknes forsto straks at hans teoremer representerte et betydelig hjelpemiddel for å forstå bevegelser i luft og hav, spesielt hvordan sirkulasjoner kan oppstå som følge av termiske prosesser.
		Bjerknes skriver senere at da han publiserte sin artikkel i 1904, var en av grunnene å bli kvitt problemet værvarsling og overlate problemene til andre.

		After World War II, Bjerknes conducted extensive studies of the upper atmosphere and jet stream; in 1952 he was among the first to use for this purpose photographs taken by high‑altitude research rockets.
		Bjerknes also studied the climatic consequences of the interaction of the ocean and atmosphere in the tropical Pacific and in 1969 was the first to propose what became known as the Bjerknes hypothesis.

	El Niño and La Niña: A Meteorologist Looks at the Sea
		During World War I he had worked with his father, Vilhelm Bjerknes, a pioneering meteorologist who coined the term "fronts" to describe the boundaries in the atmosphere where masses of warm and cold air meet and often spawn storms.
		The elder Bjerknes recognized that weather forecasting would require not only global data on atmospheric conditions but also much better knowledge of "the laws according to which one state of the atmosphere develops from another." Decades later in America his son would make an important contribution to that knowledge.
		Bjerknes recognized that during El Niño conditions, when the waters off northern Peru are warmer than normal and surface air pressure is lower as a consequence, the pressure difference between east and west weakens and so do the westward trade winds.
