George Aubourne Clarke was a Scottish meteorologist, best known for his photographs of cloud types.
From 1903 to 1943 he was the metereological observer at the Cromwell Tower Observatory at the University of Aberdeen.[1] While there he made photographs of clouds, which were published in a book that became the standard reference for metereologists and the military.[2]
He was awarded the first Hood medal from the Royal Photographic Society in 1933[3] for his work as a photographer.
