The article presents the biographies of great physicists and meteorologists who have made significant contributions to the creation and development of theoretical meteorology from positions of physical science. It is shown as a person from Aristotle to V.Bjerknes shaped the modern face of meteorological science. Getting associated with Aristotle, it was due to the fact that Aristotle can be considered the founder of theoretical physics. His first book was written about the atmospheric phenomenon called «Meteorology». In Plato’s Academy, where Aristotle spent some time valued the ability to think logically, and was developed by the art of dialogue. The article presents the basic concepts of the works of Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Evangelista Torricelli, Blaise Pascal, Robert Boyle, Mikhail Lomonosov, Daniel Bernoulli, Leonhard Euler, Joseph Louis Lagrange, Pierre Simon Laplace, Gustave Gaspard Coriolis, George Stokes, M. Navier, William Ferrel, B.P.E. Clapeyron, F. Exner and other scientists who examined certain aspects of the theoretical meteorology, but nevertheless developed it.
