Adrian Gill (meteorologist)

January 01, 1970

Adrian Edmund Gill FRS[1] (22 February 1937 – 19 April 1986) was an Australian meteorologist and oceanographer best known for his textbook Atmosphere-Ocean Dynamics.[2] Gill was born in Melbourne, Australia, and worked at Cambridge, serving as Senior Research Fellow from 1963 to 1984.[3] His father was Edmund Gill, geologist, palaeontologist and curator at the National Museum of Victoria.

Gill was chair of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere program. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1986.[4] His candidacy citation read: "Dr A. E. Gill is internationally recognised for his work in geophysical fluid dynamics and leads a small but highly productive team working on problems in dynamical oceanography and meteorology. He has made outstanding theoretical contributions to a wide range of topics, including the stability of pipe flow, thermal convection, circulation of the Southern Ocean, seasonal variability of the ocean, waves in rotating fluids, wind-induced upwelling, coastal currents and sea-level changes and coastally-trapped waves in the atmosphere, and he is particularly effective in the way he is able to interpret observations and guide the activities of observational workers".

Honours edit

  • Individual Merit Senior Principal Scientific Officer of the Meteorological Office.
  • Florida State University has a professorship endowned in his honor.[5]
  • The Royal Meteorological Society annually awards an "Adrian Gill Award" to a member of the Society who has made a significant contribution in [fields] that interface between atmospheric science and... oceanography, hydrology, geochemistry and numerical methodologies.[6]
