- Alexander George McAdie (August 8, 1863 - November 1, 1943) was an American meteorologist.

He also made studies of the atmospheric effects of smoke, the connection between the aurora and electricity in the atmosphere, and the dangers posed by lightning.
- This name was introduced on LTO-64D4 (September, 1974) on which it was listed as "approved by the IAU" and for which it served as the chart title. The name was not actually formally approved until 1976 (IAU Transactions XVIB). It does not appear to replace any previous IAU-approved designation for this feature. - Jim Mosher
