We are pleased to announce that Dr. David Legler has joined NOAA’s Climate Program Office as the new Division Chief for the Climate Observation Division.
Dr. Legler brings many years of leadership as Director of the U.S. CLIVAR Project Office, as well as his research career in areas of ocean remote sensing, air-sea interaction, air-sea fluxes, and application of climate information in agriculture. He also co-chaired the WOCE Data Products Committee for several years and was on the planning team for both OceanObs99 and OceanObs09.
We would like to acknowledge the stewardship of Dr. David Goodrich who served as interim Chief for the year prior to David’s joining us. We wish him well in his current endeavor of educating today’s youth about climate while he cycles across the US.
