Gösta Hjalmar Liljequist
Gösta Hjalmar Liljequist (1914–1995) was a Swedish meteorologist. In Sweden, radio broadcast weather forecasts begun in 1926, and, starting in 1941, Liljequist was one of the recurrent meteorologists appearing in Swedish radio for many years. Following his debut, his peculiar dialect caused mass protests which, together with an attack published by the humorist Kar de Mumma in the paper Svenska Dagbladet ''Svenska Dagbladet'' (, "The Swedish Daily News"), abbreviated SvD, is a daily newspaper published in Stockholm, Sweden. History and profile The first issue of ''Svenska Dagbladet'' appeared on 18 December 1884. During the beginning of the ..., caused broadcast forecasts to be taken over by Swedish public service radio during the war. After the war, Liljequist took part in the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949-1952). During the expedition he became the first to observe a rare type of halo, an optical phenomenon subsequently named Lilj ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Liljequist Heights
The Liljequist Heights () are the heights about south of the Grunehogna Peaks, in the Ahlmann Ridge of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–52) and air photos by the Norwegian expedition (1958–59). The heights are named for Gösta Hjalmar Liljequist, a Swedish meteorologist with the NBSAE. Preikestolen Ridge is a ridge in the western part of Liljequist Heights. It was first mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the NBSAE of 1949–1952, led by John Schjelderup Giæver and air photos by the Norwegian expedition (1958–59) and named ''Preikestolen'' ("the pulpit A pulpit is a raised stand for preachers in a Christian church.

Liljequist Parhelion
A Liljequist parhelion is a rare halo, an optical phenomenon in the form of a brightened spot on the parhelic circle approximately 150–160° from the sun; i.e., between the position of the 120° parhelion and the anthelion. While the sun touches the horizon, a Liljequist parhelion is located approximately 160° from the sun and is about 10° long. As the sun rises up to 30° the phenomenon gradually moves towards 150°, and as the sun reaches over 30° the optical effect vanishes. The parhelia are caused by light rays passing through oriented plate crystals. . The phenomenon was first observed by Gösta Hjalmar Liljequist in 1951 at Maudheim, Antarctica during the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition in 1949–1952. It was then simulated by Dr. Eberhard Tränkle (1937–1997) and Robert Greenler in 1987 and theoretically explained by Walter Tape in 1994. A theoretical and experimental investigation of the Liljequist parhelion caused by perfect hexagonal plate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
