Marianne PAASCHE, University of Bergen Library, kindly made available a high-resolution scan of the 1921 group photograph (as the core information for Fig. 1). The suggestion by Tianjun ZHOU to adapt a poster presented at the SPARC 2016Workshop for the “New & Views” section of Advances in Atmospheric Sciences was appreciated, as well as the editorial assistance provided by Zheng LIN and Ling ZHOU. Support for this study was provided by the “Waves to Weather” initiative (SFB/TRR 165) of the German Research Foundation (DFG).
