William Charles Redfield
William Charles Redfield (March 26, 1789 – February 12, 1857) was the first President of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1843).〔Redfield 1860, pp. 46, 107-108, 293-297.〕〔(Imago Mundi - William Redfield )〕〔(AAAS Book of Members, Chapter R )〕〔(The Encyclopedia Americana )〕〔(AAAS - The World's Largest General Scientific Society )〕〔(Chronology of Science in the United States 1840-1849 )〕
At a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, in 1854, Mr. Redfield mentioned a storm-path in which no less than seventy odd vessels had been wrecked, dismasted, or damaged.(Maury's p. 66 )
William Charles Redfield is known in meteorology for his observation of the directionality of winds in hurricanes 〔(Chronology of Science in the United States )〕 (being among the first to propose that hurricanes are large circular vortexes,〔(Remembering the 1821 Hurricane )〕 though John Farrar had made similar observations six years earlier), though his interests were varied and influential.
Redfield organized and was a member of the first expedition to Mount Marcy in 1837; he was the first to guess that Marcy was the highest peak in the Adirondacks, and therefore in New York. Mount Redfield was named in his honor by Verplanck Colvin.
