After receiving his Ph.D, he was appointed as Lecturer in the Department of Meteorology at Imperial College and subsequently rose to the position of Reader. In 1986 he moved to the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia at Norwich. He taught there until retiring as Reader in 1996.[1]
In 1970 he published his theory[2] of global atmospheric circulation based on a deep understanding of weather systems. His results agreed qualitatively with observations of trade wind patterns that had intrigued scientists since the 17th century.
He married and divorced twice, first Evelyn Grove and then Dr. Jill Austin, whom he met at Imperial College. He and Dr. Austin had three children. He died in the hospital at Norwich on 17 March 2012.
