WeatherBrains 248: Sleepless In WeatherBrains Land
WeatherBrains Episode 248 is now online (October 25, 2010). If you are crazy about weather, this is THE netcast audio program for you!
WeatherBrains - October 25, 2010Our Guest WeatherBrain for this episode is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Georgia. His specialties include the dynamics of weather and climate, geoscience education, atmospheric hazards, and satellite remote sensing applications. He has published numerous research papers and just last week won the prestigious Fujita Research Achievement Award at the National Weather Association Annual Meeting in Tucson. He is a native of Birmingham, AL, and his wife Pam is the Assistant State Climatologist for the State of Georgia. It’s a pleasure to welcome back former WeatherBrains Guest Panelist, Dr. John Knox.
Joining in as our guest panelist for a second time (first time was episode 206) is Brian Neudorf. Brian is the morning meteorologist on WROC-TV in Rochester, NY. Brian began his career in Bismarck, North Dakota, at KFYR-TV in 2001 and then moved to Erie, Pennsylvania ,in 2003, where he fell in love with lake effect snows. He joined WROC in January, 2008. An avid musician who plays the trumpet, Brian gravitated to the business of broadcasting after graduating Purdue University with his meteorology degree, finding it to be a winning combination of his passion for weather and his love of “performing. When Brian isn’t delivering the weather he enjoys spending time with his family, watching sports, and enjoying all that Rochester and the surrounding areas have to offer.
