Joseph Bjerknes

Carl-Gustaf Rossby and Vilhelm Bjerknes were influential meteorologists, but Joseph Bjerknes was also a prominent figure, renowned for his work in oceanography and meteorology. He contributed to understanding how ocean currents influence weather patterns and climate, especially through the study of the Norwegian Sea. His research helped clarify how the ocean and atmosphere interact, affecting phenomena like storms and climatic variations. Bjerknes' work was foundational in developing early weather prediction models and understanding the interconnected nature of Earth's climate system.
