Alfred Lothar Wegener ( Berlin, November 1, 1880 – Greenland, November 2 or 3, 1930) was a German interdisciplinary scientist who had early training in astronomy. ( Ph.D., University of Berlin, 1904). He became interested in the new discipline of meteorology and as a record-holding balloonist himself, pioneered the use of weather balloons to track air masses. His lectures became a standard textbook in meteorology, The Thermodynamics of the Atmosphere. Wegener was part of several expeditions to Greenland to study polar air circulation, when the existence of a jet stream itself was highly controversial. He died there of exposure in bitter cold. ...more on Wikipedia about "Alfred Wegener"

He graduated from Ohio State University in 1883, and was appointed on the signal service of the United States Army.

Erik Palmén ( 1898 - 1985) was the most famous researcher of meteorology in Finland. He worked together with Vilhelm Bjerknes with theory on cyclones and weather fronts and was intimately involved in explaining the dynamics of the jet stream in University of Chicago in so called Chicago school of meteorology (started by Carl-Gustaf Rossby). He was also respected for his analysis of data collected by radiosondes; his preprosessed and quality checked datasets were widely used by other researchers. Palmen was a multisided researcher who published articles in meteorology, geophysics and oceanography. The 1969 book by Palmen and Chester W. Newton, "Atmospheric Circulation Systems: Their Structure and Interpretation", is still used as lecture material in the universities around the world. ...more on Wikipedia about "Erik Palmén"
