Robert B. Sykes Jr. 1917-1999
Article Abstract:
Researcher Robert B. Sykes Jr. died on Jan 29, 1999 at Hepburn Medical Center in Ogdensburg, NY. Considered as the one of the grandfathers of lake effect snow forecasting around the eastern Great Lakes, Sykes played a vital role in the analysis of atmospheric processes which are responsible in the development of mesoscale events. He was one of the first researchers to determine and characterize the mesoscale convergence zone that is responsible in the occurrence of single-bonded lake effect snowstorms on the eastern Great Lakes.
