I'm making work all round ;-).

I've now made the suggested changes. And I'm looking forward to reading
Manley's two CET papers myself, having just downloaded them.

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

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

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categor...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?

Thanks for the offer, but I confess that hydrodynamical processes aren't

I'll excuse you that ;-) (tho the article is non technical).

Thanks for incorporating the changes, the whole thing reads well. I
guess Manley will always be remembered as the ' CET man ', despite the
Dun fell period.
The reason why I was so keen on the helm wind point is that I think
Manley probably belongs to that tradition in British
meteorology/hydrodynamics, (many trained at Cambridge), whose knowledge
was based in practice/engineering/observations but made fundamental
theoretical contributions based on such, eg. Richardson, G I Taylor,

Really, somebody shld write a biography of Manley...........

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,

I've added an External Links section, so that I could include a link to
this excellent description of his work at Moor House:

I'll add that then.

Though those who have heard her seem to reckon that she does a better
job of putting the forecast across than many of those who are
professional meteorologists.
