Nomenclature
- Heinrich Wilhelm Dove (10/6/1803 - 4/4/1879) was a German physicist. During his career he published more than 300 papers, some of which delved into experimental physics. He also had an important influence over the science of meteorology, and was considered by some to be a pioneer in this field; Dove's primary meteorological focus was in climatology, a field pioneered by Alexander von [/Humboldt Humboldt].
- According to [/Whitaker Whitaker] (p. 224), this name was introduced by [/Schmidt Schmidt].
