Anders Celsius (1701 – 1744) is known in the history of temperature for proposing the Celsius temperature scale. This scale originally had 0 for the boiling point of water and 100 for the freezing point. The scale was later reversed to the form it has today. Birthday: November 27, 1701
Christian Doppler (1803 – 1853) is known for proposing what is today called the Doppler effect. This has to do with the apparent change in wavelength and frequency of a wave perceived by the observer to be moving relative to the wave source. The Doppler effect is the principle that underlies the operation of today’s Doppler flowmeters. Birthday: November 29, 1803
