EspañolHENRY PIDDINGTON
'Henry Piddington' (1797–1858) was an English-Indian scientist and marine Captain in East India and China who coined the name ''cyclone'' for tropical storms, referring to a storm that blew a freighter in circles in Mauritius in February of 1845.
Piddington also wrote many scientific papers about geology, mineralogy, and meteorology in the ''Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal''.
