Benito Vines (1937-1893) was a pioneer in the study of tropical meteorology in Cuba, but also one of the first to train others in this discipline, to educate the general public, and to serve the community by issuing forecasts using the printing press, the most effective medium of communication of the time. Vines was shaped by the discipline of his training as both Jesuit and scientist. In addition to Spanish he was fluent in Latin, French, and could read in English; his scholarly influences were broad (in the field of physics and Earth sciences, he was greatly influenced by French meteorological thought); and he was diligent and methodical in his work. This work and that of his students, performed over decades at the Belen Observatory, where they developed a system of observation and prediction in cooperation with stations across the West Indies, far outpaced that of American scientists at the time and would greatly contribute to the formation of hurricane sciencethen, as now, an ever-changing field that plays a practical and crucial role in people s safety and lives."
