Chet Ropelewski | American Meteorological Society Centennial Oral History Project |
Chet Ropelewski is a meteorologist who began his career in an unconventional way. Unlike many of his peers who developed an interest in meteorology from a young age, Ropelewski's initial interest was in geology and geophysics. He pursued a bachelor's degree in physics, which he completed in June 1964. However, he soon realized that he did not enjoy modern physics, particularly quantum mechanics. Ropelewski's career path took a turn when he received a draft letter from his draft board shortly after his graduation. |

John Toohey-Morales | American Meteorological Society Centennial Oral History Project |
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. |
