Gordon Manley: 3 Jan 1902 - 29 Jan 1980.

There's a full account of his life and career given in The Climatic
Scene, Ed. Tooley, M J and Sheail, G M - published by Allen & Unwin in
1985. You should be able to get a copy either from the National
Meteorological Library or your own local library who can request it
from the British Library.

I was fortunate enough to meet Gordon Manley briefly at a RMetS meeting
in the mid 1970s, and I still have several letters I exchanged with
him.

My article for Wikipedia is now up, and can be found at:

I would like to thank Dennis Wheeler of Durham University for his help.
He kindly sent me a photocopy of the relevant chapter from the
above-mentioned book and reviewed the draft of my article.
