“I
was wondering about the experts on the Weather Channel; they are often referred
to as doctor. I was wondering what kind
of doctorate degrees they have.” The
Newton Falls Public Library staff enjoys investigating such questions for our
patrons.
The
simplest way for our staff member to find this information was to go directly
to the Weather Channel’s website, www.weather.com. Their page, Our Meteorologists & Personalities, shows 34 individuals.
Looking at their credentials, most have bachelor’s degrees in Meteorology or Atmospheric
Science. Dr. Greg Forbes is their severe
weather expert. The website does not say for what is doctorate was earned, but
from the following information given: “B.S. in Meteorology, Pennsylvania State
University, M.S. and Ph.D., University of Chicago. Studied under Dr. T. Theodore Fujita [a
severe weather expert],” one thinks it may also be meteorology.
