Bentley, Wilson (Alwyn) (1865–1931) meteorologist; born in Jericho, Vt. He spent his life on a farm in Vermont, collecting data from storms and photographing samples of precipitation. His exhaustive studies show that no two snowflakes are alike because the variables surrounding their formation are infinite. Some 2,000 of his 5,000 snowflake photographs, taken using a microscope and camera, were published by the American Meteorological Society as Snow Crystals (1931), with William J. Humphreys as coauthor. How to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit webmaster's page for free fun content. |
