Thanks. I wasn't aware of that.
perhaps a sentence or two might be added on his work on the 'Helm
wind', there was a New Scientist article a little while ago.
Good point.
I'll see what I can do on both counts. Alternatively, please feel free
to edit the entry yourself. The great advantage (as well as potentially
a great danger) of Wikipedia is that anyone can edit articles.
Also, there appears to be no page for the late Frank Ludlam,
considering how influential he has been .....................,
That I shall definitely leave for someone else to do. Someone has
written a short piece on Hubert Lamb (which could do with expanding),
but apart from that the Wiki coverage of British climatologists seems to
be pretty much non-existent.

The reference is 'When the helm wind blows', New scientist, 14 May
2005, p50-51.
(I can scan it if you like)
I'm a bit short on spare time ATM, but I'spose as well as Ludlam one
should have Sawyer and Sutcliffe as well, on the dynamicists side from
the C20. I think R S Scorer is still alive.
I'm slightly dubious about including the living
