Mostly Weather Hall of Fame: Fridtjof Nansen

Met Office scientists take a lively look at the fascinating history and science of weather and climate research. Once more we open up the Mostly Weather Hall of Fame, as Doug McNeall puts forward the case for Fridtjof Nansen to fellow podcasters Claire Witham, Jeff Norwood-Brown and Catherine Ross. From champion ice skater in his youth to Nobel Peace Prize winner later on in life - there are certainly some good arguments for his induction, but just how important was his work as scientist and explorer to the future of weather and climate forecasting? The Met Office is the United Kingdom's national weather service. The Met Office website carries the latest UK and global weather forecasts, detailed information on weather types and climate science and UK weather records for previous months, seasons and years. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/
