Talk:Sverre Petterssen

Munch of the content is embellished based on a single article in a Norwegian tabloid. There are several contradictions with the article James Martin Stagg, which is far better sourced.
Looks liked this article has been wildly embellished. No doubt Sverre Petersen was a talented meteorologist, but calling him a prominent leader in his field who saved the D-day is not properly sourced. -- H eptor  talk 22:28, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

" The British Admiralty and the British Meteorological Office urged delay. They were aided by the brilliant Norwegian theoretician Sverre Petterssen – a giant in the field of weather analysis and forecasting, and an international leader in meteorology during the mid-20th century."
