Images of BergenThe <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Geophysical?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Geophysical</a> Institute, sometime in the late 50s. This is where modern numerological <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/meteorology?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meteorology</a> was invented, through the work of Vilhelm <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Bjerknes?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bjerknes</a> and the research group around him and his son, Jack – also known as the Bergen School of Meteorology.<br>
<br>
The building still houses world-class geophycisists, meteorologists and oceanographers contributing to IPCC WMO and other important climate research, and the central tower is still where the Meteorological Institute does their Bergen measurements.<br>
<br>
Also, there is still a tram there! (These days, the light rail service Bybanen.)<br>
