Hendrik Tennekes

Hendrik (Henk) Tennekes (born December 13 1936, Kampen) was the director of research at the Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute (Koninklijk Nederlands Meteorologisch Instituut, or KNMI), and was a professor of aeronautical engineering at Pennsylvania State University. Tennekes pioneered methods of multi-modal forecasting. He authored "The Simple Science of Flight" and "A First Course in Turbulence". Tennekes was a strong proponent of scientific modeling, and he challenged the use of incomplete or unproven scientific models by thosewho trying to explain complex phenomena such as global warming.
