Norman A. Phillips (born July 9, 1923) is an American meteorologist.[1] In 1956, he developed a mathematical model which could realistically depict monthly and seasonal patterns in the troposphere, which became the first successful General circulation model of climate.[2] He was awarded a Benjamin Franklin Medal (Franklin Institute) along with Joseph Smagorinsky in 2003.[3]
Phillips was born in 1923.[2] He graduated from the University of Chicago in 1947 with a B.S. and in 1951 with a Ph.D.[3]
