Kermit Keeter(National Weather Service - Raleigh, Science & Operations Officer) | |
| Kermit Keeter received his BS in
Meteorology from North Carolina State University (NCSU) in 1976. Kermit's Career with
the National Weather Service (NWS) began in 1978 when he was assigned as an
intern to the NWS Forecast Office in Fort Worth, Texas. He has worked at the NWS
Forecast Office in Raleigh, North Carolina since 1983, having served as
the station's Science and Operations Officer since 1994. Kerimt's principal professional interests are focused upon the forecast and warning processes for the region's most critical forecast challenges. These challenges include winter precipitation types, winter storm evolution, cold-air damming, inland effects from tropical cyclones, and severe convective storms. As a forecast office collocated at NCSU, Kermit has longed emphasized collaborations with NCSU students and faculty as a principal means to advance science into operational meteorology and to assist students in their career plans for becoming operational forecasters. Kermit and his wife, Louane, live in Cary and are the parents of four grown children - Kara, Brian, Leah, and Myra.

Dr. Allen J. Riordan(Associate Professor; Ph.D. University of Wisconsin, August, 1977) | |
| I've been on the faculty at North Carolina State since 1977. Over these many years, I've taught a wide range of
courses and find that I enjoy leading introductory courses just as much as the more advanced courses for seniors and graduate students. I'm originally from Connecticut, but since nearby colleges did not offer a degree in meteorology, I got on the bus and went to Wisconsin where I earned B. S. and M. S. degrees. Immediately after that, in 1969, I spent a year with four New Zealanders at Vanda Station, Antarctica. We were the first party to winter-over in the Dry Valleys. Research in Antarctic meteorology then brought me and my wife to Innsbruck, Austria, where we spent a wonderful year. My early research involved areas of micrometeorology and air pollution, but for the past 15 years my interest has shifted to larger-scale phenomena. In 1986 I participated in the Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment (GALE) and became interested in the coastal front. My research in this area has continued. I also have been active in research on severe local storms. Both of these areas have involved close collaboration with forecasters at the Raleigh National Weather Service.
