Frank Hagar Bigelow was an American meteorologist. He was professor of solar physics at George Washington University from 1894 to 1910.
Background
Frank Bigelow was born on August 28, 1851, at Concord, Massachussets, United States. He was the only son of Francis Edwin and Ann Hagar Bigelow and seventh in descent from a John Bigua, or Biglo, whose marriage was recorded in Watertown, Massachussets, in 1642.
Education
Frank attended both the primary and the high school of Concord, Massachussets and also, for three years, a Latin school in Boston. His mother was interested in astronomy and had a small telescope, a circumstance that helped to arouse in her son his lifelong interest in astronomical problems. He graduated from Harvard College in 1873. Later he receivied his degree of B. D. from the Episcopal Theological School at Cambridge.
Career
After graduating in 1873, Bigelow took a position as assistant astronomer at the Cordoba Observatory, Argentina. There he remained three years, returning to the United States in 1876 to study for the ministry. He then was rector of St. Paul's Church, Natick, Massachussets, 1880-1881. His lungs soon became affected, however, and he had to give up active ministerial work. He then returned to his former place in Argentina, 1881-1883. After this he held many posts, notably that of chief of the climatological division in the United States Weather Bureau (1906 - 1910), that of editor of the Monthly Weather Review (1909 - 1910), and lastly that of professor of meteorology, Oficina Meteorologica, Cordoba, Argentina (1910 - 1921). He also was professor of solar physics at George Washington University (1894 - 1910) and served as assistant rector of St. John's Church.
Bigelow had an active part in the United States Eclipse Expedition to West Africa, 1889; to Newberry, South Carolina, 1900; and to Spain, 1905. Naturally, too, he was a member of several scientific societies. After retiring at the age of seventy due to failing eyesight incident to diabetes, he went first to Marseilles, then to London, and, finally, to Vienna where he died.
His voluminous writings cover a wide range in the fields of climatology, meteorology, and kindred subjects. He demonstrated the fact that the centers of extra-tropical cyclones are neither all warm nor all cold, but occur on a line of separation between adjacent warm and cold masses of air. This discovery attracted very little attention until years afterward when it was elaborated by others, explained, and made a powerful aid in foretelling the coming weather.
In 1904 Bigelow elaborated and urged a plan for the study of atmospheric electricity and terrestrial magnetism and their relation to solar conditions. As his wishes in this matter could not be closely followed he became discouraged, and being quite reserved, was soon seeing too much of himself and too little of others. Presently he felt an urge to rewrite meteorology, an urge that resulted in many papers, two books, and five supplements, the last appearing shortly before his death and bearing the title The New Must Replace the Old, Delenda est Carthago, Atmospheric Physics as Applied to a Reformed Meteorology. But all this reforming effort produced little or no effect.
Achievements
During his career Frank Bigelow wrote many works in astronomy and meteorology. Among the best are two ponderous volumes, Report on the International Cloud Observations, based on records made throughout the United States in 1896-1897, and Report on the Barometry of the United States, Canada, and the West Indies, published as Reports of Chief of Weather Bureau for 1898-1899 and 1900-1901, respectively.
