Why are "Chak" Equations So-Called?

"Cha-Mo" equations are so-named as they were independently discovered by Sydney Chapman and Andrey Kolmogorov.

They are pivotal equations in the theory of Markovian stochastic processes.

Both Chapman and Kolmogorov were mathematicians, with Chapman doubling up as a notable geophysicist studying, amongst other things, the ozone layer and the magnetosphere.
