Arthur Covington
Arthur Edwin Covington (born 21 September 1913, died 17 March 2001) is a Canadian physicist who made the first radio astronomy measurements in Canada. Through these he made the valuable discovery that sunspots generate large amounts of microwaves at the 10.7 cm wavelength, offering a simple all-weather method to measure and predict sunspot activity, and their associated effects on communications. The sunspot detection program has run continuously to this day.
==Early life and education==

Covington was born in Regina and grew up in Vancouver. He showed an early interest in astronomy, and had built a refractor telescope after meeting members of the local chapter of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.〔(The Development of Solar Microwave Radio Astronomy in Canada )〕 He was also interested in amateur radio and operated station VE3CC for a time. He started his career as a radio operator on ships operated by the Canadian National Railways. He put himself through school and eventually earned a bachelor's degree from the University of British Columbia in 1938, and obtained his master's degree from the same institution in 1940 after building an electron microscope. He then moved to University of California in Berkeley where he received his doctoral degree in nuclear physics in 1942.〔(Arthur Edwin Covington (1913-2001) )〕 He was still at Berkeley when he was invited to join the National Research Council (NRC) in Ottawa in 1942 as a radar technician, working at the NRC's Radio Field Station.〔(The Riche-Covington Collection -- History of Radio Astronomy )〕
