Oliver Reynolds Wulf (22 April 1897, Norwich, Connecticut – 11 January 1987) was a chemist, physicist, and meteorologist, known for his research on nitrogen fixation, ozone, atmospheric dynamics, and ions and winds in the ionosphere.
in chemistry at American University,[2] he took a job in the brass works for the Bristol Company in Waterbury, Connecticut during the summer of 1922.
After completing his PhD, Wulf received a National Research Fellowship, which supported his work with U. C. Berkeley's Raymond Birge on the molecular spectroscopy of ozone.
In 1939, on the strength of Carl Rossby's recommendation, Wulf was appointed a senior meteorologist in the U. S. Weather Bureau, for which he worked from 1939 until his retirement in 1967.
In 1945 the Weather Bureau assigned Wulf to Caltech to work as a research associate with the rank of full professor of chemistry and chemical engineering.
After his retirement, Wulf did research with Seth Nicholson, working with the solar telescope and other equipment at the Mount Wilson observatory.
