Mavis Kathleen Hinds (1929–2009) was an English meteorologist who, together with Fred Bushby, pioneered the use of computers to carry out meteorological calculations in the UK. She studied Mathematics at University College London (UCL) and on graduating joined the UK Meteorological (Met) Office in 1951, attending their Initial Forecasting Course that year. She went on to work with Bushby in using the Lyons Electronic Office (LEO), an early computer developed by J. Lyons & Co of Cadby Hall, London, becoming an expert in writing, running and correcting computer programs for weather forecasting. She was seen at that time as one of the first prominent female meteorologists and also the first to play a leading role in the development of Numerical Weather Prediction, not only in the UK but also

  • Mavis Kathleen Hinds (1929-2009) fue una meteoróloga inglesa que, junto con Fred Bushby, ​ fue pionera en el uso de computadoras para realizar cálculos meteorológicos en el Reino Unido. Estudió Matemáticas en el University College London (UCL) y al graduarse se unió a la Oficina Meteorológica (Met) del Reino Unido en 1951, asistiendo al Curso de Pronóstico Inicial ese mismo año. Continuó trabajando con Bushby en el uso de Lyons Electronic Office (LEO), una de las primeras computadoras desarrolladas por J. Lyons & Co de Cadby Hall, Londres, y se convirtió en una experta en escribir, ejecutar y corregir programas de computadora para la predicción del tiempo. En ese momento, fue vista como una de las primeras meteorólogas destacadas y también la primera en desempeñar un papel de liderazgo en el desarrollo de la predicción meteorológica numérica, no solo en el Reino Unido sino también en todo el mundo. ​ (es)
