Hermann Flohn

Having obtained his doctorate in 1934, he accepted a position at the newly established German Meteorological Service (Reichswetterdienst).

From 1941 he was employed at the meteorological service of the Luftwaffe High Command.

In 1941 Flohn published the first German article concerning anthropogenic climate change.

Having returned to the Deutscher Wetterdienst after the war, Flohn from 1950 helped develop the theory of atmospheric circulation.

Flohn was one of the first and leading global climate change researchers.
