Vilhelm Bjerknes is considered by many to be one of the founders of modern meteorology and weather forecasting. Born on March 14, 1862, in the Norwegian town of Christiania, Bjerknes was destined for a career in science. As a young boy, Bjerknes assisted his father, Carl Bjerknes (a professor of mathematics at the University of Christiania), in carrying out experiments to verify the theoretical predictions that resulted from his father's hydrodynamic research. He continued this collaboration during his undergraduate studies at the University of Kristiania in 1880 (the city was renamed Kristiania in 1877). After studying mathematics and physics, Bjerknes received his Master's Degree from Kristiania in 1888. During this time, he decided to cut all collaborative ties with his father, as he showed an increasing tendency toward professional isolation and a fear of publishing the results of his research. Young Vilhelm believed that continuing work with his father would be detrimental to his career, a tough decision for a son who was devoted to his father. Soon after graduation, Bjerknes was awarded a state scholarship that enabled him to continue his studies abroad. Arriving in Paris in 1889, he attended lectures on electrodynamics given by Jules Henri Poincare. Then, in 1890, he moved to Bonn, Germany, and became an assistant to, and eventually a scientific collaborator with, the German physicist Heinrich Hertz. Together, Hertz and Bjerknes conducted a comprehensive study of electrical resonance (an effect in which the resistance to the flow of an electrical current becomes very small over a narrow frequency range) that was influential in the development of radio. In 1892, Bjerknes returned to Norway and completed his doctoral thesis on the work that he did in Bonn.

4. Jacob Bjerknes Biography Jacob Aall Bonnevie bjerknes was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1897 professor grandfather carl and was extended by Jacob's father, the theoretical physicist Vilhelm bjerknes. From http://www.agu.org/inside/awards/bjerknes.html

JACOB BJERKNES (1897-1975) Jacob Aall Bonnevie Bjerknes was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1897. He continued a legacy of hydrodynamic application theory that began with his physics professor grandfather Carl and was extended by Jacob's father, the theoretical physicist Vilhelm Bjerknes. From 1914 to 1916, Bjerknes attended the University of Kristiania (Oslo), where he became interested in his father's work relating hydrodynamic theory to atmospheric motion and weather prediction. Jacob followed his father and his group of young Norwegian meteorologists to the University of Leipzig, where their research focused on the formation of heavy precipitation along ordered cloud boundaries then called "squall lines." Through surface map analysis, Jacob discovered that these boundaries coincided with the convergence of wind fields, making the latter a potential detector and predictor of weather patterns. In 1926, Jacob served as a support meteorologist for Roald Amundsen's polar dirigible flight. In 1928 he married Hedvig Borthen. In 1931, he left his position as head of the weather service at Bergen to become professor of meteorology at the geophysical institute his father had founded. By 1933 he discovered yet another aspect of the cyclone phenomenon, the upper atmospheric wave. His preliminary formulation of the use of pressure tendency as a surface indication of cyclone development appeared in 1937. Jacob lectured at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology during the 1933-1934 school year and emigrated to the United States in 1940 where he headed a government-sponsored meteorology annex, for weather forecasting, to the department of physics at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). That same year of 1940 saw the invasion of Norway by Germany and Bjerknes' receipt of the Symons Medal from the Royal Meteorological Society. At UCLA, Bjerknes and fellow Norwegian Jorgen Holmboe further developed the pressure tendency and the extratropical cyclone theories.

BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS National Academy of Sciences Jacob Aall Bonnevie Bjerknes By Arnt Eliassen JACOB AALL BONNEVIE BJERKNES, or Jack Bjerknes as he was usually called, was one of the founders of modern meteorology. He entered the scientific scene at the age of twenty with the discovery of the structure of extratropical cyclones, which became of the greatest importance and formed the starting point of a fruitful development for theoretical meteorology as well as practical weather forecasting. It was Jack's father, the famous physicist and geophysicist Vilhelm Bjerknes, who set the stage for the research leading up to this discovery, but Jack was the principal performer. FAMILY BACKGROUND The name Bjerknes comes from a family farm in southeastern Norway where some of Jack's ancestors lived. Jack represented the third generation in a dynasty of scientists. His grandfather, Carl Anton Bjerknes, was professor of mathematics at the University of Christiania, as the Norwegian capital Oslo was called at the time. He showed both theoretically and by experiment that an ideal fluid would transfer Coulomb-type forces between pulsating spheres and thought that he was on the track of a hydrodynamical ether theory of electromagnetism. Jack's father, Vilhelm Bjerknes, began his career as a physicist working with Heinrich Hertz in Bonn on electromagnetic resonance. In 1893 he married Honoria Sophia Bonnevie, a Norwegian science student in Christiania. They settled in Stockholm, where Vilhelm Bjerknes was appointed lecturer and later professor of mechanics and mathematical physics.
