George Cressman (Oct. 7, 1919 – April 17, 2008) was the National Weather Service director who applied computers to meteorology and helped to change weather forecasting into a codified science.
[1] In the 1950s, Dr. Cressman was responsible for developing the first program to accurately and reliably forecast the weather using a computer.
The method was called the “Cressman Analysis” or “Cressman Method” and changed forecasting methods and allowed meteorologists to develop numerical weather prediction.
