description: "Luke Howard was a British manufacturing chemist and an amateur meteorologist with broad interests in science. His lasting contribution to science is a nomenclature system for clouds, which he proposed in an 1802 presentation to the Askesian Society. Because of this, Howard is referred to as \"The Godfather of Clouds\", the \"namer of the clouds\", and the \"father of meteorology\"."
