Ukichiro Nakaya (1900–1962) was a renowned Japanese physicist and meteorologist, best known for his pioneering work in the field of cloud physics and the study of snowflakes. He is particularly noted for being the first person to successfully create artificial snowflakes in a laboratory setting, allowing for the detailed study of their structure and formation. Nakaya's research contributed significantly to our understanding of the physical processes that occur in clouds and atmospheric conditions that lead to the formation of snow.
