Meet the U.S. CLIVAR Program Office Staff

Dr. David M. Legler, Director
Dr. Legler's CV

Dr. David M. Legler currently serves as a Director of the
U.S. Office of the CLImate VARiability and Predictability
(CLIVAR) program, part of an international research effort
that seeks to understand and better predict climate variations
on time scales of seasons to centuries. Before becoming director,
he was a research associate and Deputy Director of the Center for
Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) at Florida State
University where he earned his PhD in meteorology from FSU in
1992. He has published over 25 papers in scientific journals on
topics such as ocean remote sensing from space, variability of
surface meteorology conditions over the ocean, and the impacts of
ENSO on North American climate and subsequent effects on US
agriculture and water resources. Additionally, Dr. Legler served
as director of an internationaldata center while at Florida State
University and served on a number of international committees
addressing the needs of atmospheric and oceanic data and air-sea
fluxes. Early in his science career he earned the American
Meteorological Society's Father James B. Macelwane Award for
undergraduate research papers in 1982. When he has time, Dr. Legler
enjoys camping and hiking in the Virginia mountains.

 

Catherine Stephens, Associate Scientist
Ms. Stephens' CV

Cathy received her B.S. and M.S. in meteorology at The Florida
State University under James. J. O'Brien. Her Master's thesis
entitled, "Variability of Surface Fluxes over the Indian Ocean
1960-1990" was published in The Global Atmosphere and Ocean System, 1995. She joined the U.S. CLIVAR Office in January, 2004. Prior to that she was employed at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in the Coupled Climate Dynamics Group and then at NOAA's National Oceanographic Data Center. She has published several papers on topics such as El Nino, Pacific Decadal Variability and surface fluxes. In her free time, she enjoys coaching youth soccer.
