James Pollard Espy (or the Storm King) (May 9, 1785 – January 24, 1860) was a U.S. meteorologist. Espy developed a convection theory of storms, explaining it in 1836 before the American Philosophical Society and in 1840 before the French Académie des Sciences and the British Royal Society. His theory was published in 1840 as The Philosophy of Storms. He became meteorologist to the War (1842) and Navy (1848) departments and developed the use of the telegraph in assembling weather observation data by which he studied the progress of storms and laid the basis for scientific weather forecasting.

  • James Pollard Espy (surnommé le Roi des tempêtes) (9 mai 1785 - 24 janvier 1860) était un météorologue américain qui a développé une théorie de la convection orageuse et de la cyclogénèse qu'il expliqua en 1836 devant la Société américaine de philosophie et en 1840, devant l'Académie française des sciences et la Royal Society britannique. Sa théorie fut publiée en 1840 comme The Philosophy of Storms. Il devint le premier météorologue officiel du gouvernement américain aux départements de la Guerre (1842) et de la Marine (1848) où il développa l'usage du télégraphe pour assembler des données d'observation météorologique pour suivre les progrès des orages, des dépressions et des ouragans. Il posait ainsi les bases de la prévision météorologique scientifique. (fr)
