Sir Gilbert Walker

Sir Gilbert Walker was a British scientist and meteorologist known for discovering the linkage between atmospheric pressure patterns and climate cycles. He studied how changes in pressure over the Indian and Pacific Oceans influence weather worldwide, particularly the monsoon. His research led to identifying the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a natural climate pattern that causes significant weather variations globally. Walker's work helped improve weather prediction and understanding of climate variability, making him a pioneer in meteorology.
