On October 21, 1994, Will Kellogg interviewed Joachim P. Kuettner at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Kuettner reflects on significant aspects of his career, including his pioneering work on atmospheric and oceanic phenomena. He discusses his early scientific interests, influenced by experiences as a glider pilot, which led to his research on atmospheric electricity, mountain waves, and cloud formations.

On November 27, 2002, Richard Anthes interviewed Joanne and Robert Simpson about their careers, experiences, and personal histories. Robert discusses his childhood, including growing up in Texas during the 1919 hurricane and his early interest in music, which led to a brief career as a music teacher. He reflects on his education and career shifts, including his work at the Weather Bureau and his eventual retirement.

On September 6, 1989, Margaret LeMone interviewed Joanne Simpson for the American Meteorological Society’s interview project. Simpson, a pioneering meteorologist, discusses her early interest in science, particularly mathematics, and her academic journey, which began at the University of Chicago. She reflects on her experiences in World War II-era meteorology training and her shift toward a career in meteorology, particularly focusing on tropical convection and cumulus clouds.

John Brown is a renowned meteorologist who developed an interest in weather at a very early age. Born and raised in San Diego, he recalls his earliest memories of rain showers coming in off the ocean, which played a significant role in his interest in meteorology. Brown pursued his passion for meteorology in his academic career, starting with a bachelor's and master's degree from UCLA, followed by a Ph.D. from MIT. He had the opportunity to work with the US Weather Bureau and the National Hurricane Research Project in Miami, which he believed would shape his career in studying hurricanes.

John Toohey-Morales is a renowned meteorologist known for his significant contributions to the field. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Toohey-Morales developed an interest in weather and atmospheric sciences at a young age, particularly influenced by the tropical cyclone threats that occasionally affected his homeland. His interest was further piqued by the devastating impact of Hurricane David in 1979, which led him to consider a career in meteorology. Toohey-Morales pursued his passion for atmospheric sciences at Cornell University.

On August 29, 2000, Kristina Katsaros interviewed Dr. Joost Businger for the American Meteorological Society’s Tape Recorded Interview Project, managed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Businger, a prominent atmospheric scientist, discusses his early life, career, and contributions to meteorology. Born in Holland, Businger developed an early interest in weather, which was further fueled during World War II when weather information became classified, leading him to keep his own records and make forecasts.

Jordan Rabinowitz is a Ph.D. student at the University of Missouri, specializing in meteorology. He is also the CEO and operations director of the Global Weather and Climate Center website, an organization dedicated to global weather, climate, and environmental education, communication, and awareness. Rabinowitz's interest in science and meteorology was sparked during his childhood in Long Island, where he developed a fascination with snowstorms. This fascination grew into an obsession, which eventually became a passion and led to his career in meteorology.

On March 19, 1991, William W. Kellogg interviews Joseph O. Fletcher, who shares detailed accounts of his career in meteorology and atmospheric research, beginning with his early experiences in the Army Air Corps and continuing through his contributions during World War II. Fletcher describes his work with the Signal Corps, his transition to the Air Weather Service, and his role in pioneering microwave radar applications for weather detection and reconnaissance.

Kevin Kloesel is a meteorologist with a unique career trajectory that intersects his passion for sports, particularly baseball, with his aptitude for meteorology. Kloesel's interest in meteorology was sparked during his youth when he noticed the impact of weather on his beloved baseball games. He attended the University of Texas for his undergraduate studies, initially focusing on engineering due to a scholarship. However, he discovered classes in meteorology and found them to be right up his alley. A faculty member, Dr.

Lakemariam Worku is a 33-year-old atmospheric science PhD student from Ethiopia. He attended A&T State University in Greensboro, North Carolina, and is currently working on his research. His interest in meteorology began in his childhood when he would visit a meteorology station with his friend whose father was a meteorology observer. This fascination led him to join the meteorology department at Arba Minch University in Ethiopia. After graduation, he worked for the national meteorology agency of Ethiopia for seven years before moving to the United States.
