Max Margules

Max Margules (1920)

Max Margules (born April 23, 1856 in Brody ( Galicia ), † October 4, 1920 in Perchtoldsdorf , Lower Austria ) was an Austrian meteorologist .

Max Margules studied at the Vienna University of mathematics, physics and chemistry, in 1876 received his doctorate he became a doctor of philosophy. He dealt with questions of electro- and hydrodynamics , from 1885 to 1906 he worked at the Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics .

He researched the atmospheric tides and formulated a theory about the polar front and air pressure waves . In 1901 his treatise appeared on the labor value of an air pressure distribution and the maintenance of pressure differences . In 1903 he published one of the classic works of meteorology: " On the energy of storms ".

From 1906 he was a private scholar , he withdrew from meteorology and turned back to chemical-physical questions.
