Gilbert Thomas Walker  

Definition(s)

  • GILBERT THOMAS WALKER is the British physicist and statistician who first described the phenomenon of Southern Oscillation, a coherent interannular fluctuation of atmospheric pressure over the tropical Indo-Pacific region that produces wind anomalies. This was part of Walkers project to determine the connections between the Asian monsoon and other climatic fluctuations in the global climate in an effort to predict unusual monsoon years that cause drought and famine to the Asian sector.
