I've discovered that Wikipedia has a category "British meteorologists":

Those who have entries seem to be a mixture of the genuinely eminent and
those who are currently or have recently appeared as TV forecast
presenters. I'm wondering if it would be over-pedantic of me not to add
Manley on the grounds that he was a climatologist rather than a
meteorologist?

No, I think he shld be in as a meteorologist as well-the Dunn Fell work
justifies it alone.

I see the term meteorologist is redefined here-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alina_Jenkins

Alina attended Laine Theatre Arts School in Epsom, and was a flat-mate
of Victoria Beckham. After a dancing job on a cruise ship, Alina joined
the BBC via BBC Talent, working initially for Radio Solent, before
joining South Today as their main weather presenter in 2001.

BTW on dangers of inc the 'living' I see Keith Browning is described in
the past tense-

"Arguably his greatest talent was his intuitive understanding of
complex three-dimensional meteorological processes which he described
more simply using conceptual models."

rather insulting as he is alive and well and still as creative as ever,
