| dc.description.abstract | The Concept of an International Meteorological Observation Network owes its origin indirectly to a naval catastrophe and its design to a great French scientist. In November 1854 a disastrous storm destroyed the French fleet that was laying seige to Sebastopol in Crimea. 38 ships and 3 warships were thus sunk. The French astronomer Urbain Le Verrier who investigated into the cause of the disaster showed that a suitable observation network could have prevented the vessels from sinking.
