Norman A. Phillips
Norman A. Phillips (July 9, 1923 - March 15, 2019) was an American meteorologist notable for his contributions to geophysical fluid dynamics.[1][2] In 1956, he developed a mathematical model which could realistically depict monthly and seasonal patterns in the troposphere, which became the first successful general circulation model of climate.[3]
He was a former director of the National Meteorological Center of NOAA NWS.[4] Phillips was awarded a Benjamin Franklin Medal (Franklin Institute) along with Joseph Smagorinsky in 2003.[5]
Phillips was born in 1923.[3] He graduated from the University of Chicago in 1947 with a B.S. and in 1951 with a Ph.D.[5]
