Technology Transfer Meteorologist
Weather Decision Technologies, Inc., Norman, OK
J.T. Johnson obtained both his
B.S. in Meteorology (1989) and M.S. in Meteorology (1992) at the University
of Oklahoma. After completing his Masters, he began his career at the National
Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) in Norman, OK. In May 2000 J.T. joined Weather
Decision Technologies, Inc., a new weather information company in Norman, OK,
to serve as Vice President for Internet Technologies.
After graduation, J.T. worked on short-term microburst prediction
using storm-scale models and radar derived parameters. J.T. now directs the
development of software tools to assist meteorologists and non-meteorologists
with decisions about severe weather.
"A typical day for me is managing several software
development projects for weather decision applications. These might be for
the public or for a safety officer at a large manufacturing plant who needs
to be abreast of the weather conditions and how it might affect operations.
My job is to both transfer existing technology into use and to create new
technologies that utilize the Internet. So I coordinate quite frequently
with other meteorologists and software engineers both at WDT and other organizations
in an effort to move technology to a point where it is being used by decision
makers."
J.T.
enjoys running, softball, and web page development. He and his wife have
two young children. |
