Selected Americana from Sabin's Dictionary of books relating to America
William Charles Redfield (March 26, 1789 – February 12, 1857) was an American meteorologist. He was the first president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1843).
William Charles Redfield is known in meteorology for his observation of the directionality of winds in hurricanes (being among the first to propose that hurricanes are large circular vortexes, though John Farrar had made similar observations six years earlier), though his interests were varied and influential.
