Lorenz, Edward N.

    0.01 sec.
Lorenz, Edward N. (1917–  ) meteorologist; born in West Hartford, Conn. Working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1946), he was the first to describe what is known as "deterministic chaos" as a shaper of weather; the impact of his work on scientists' view of nature has been compared in importance to that of Isaac Newton. Among other major meteorology awards, he received the 1991 Kyoto Prize.
