John F. Griffiths

John Frederick Griffiths (8 February 1926 – 27 July 2003) was a Professor of Meteorology (as well as of agricultural climatology, architectural climatology and numerous other fields) at Texas A&M University and with the Organization for Tropical Studies. He was the first Texas State Climatologist and served as President of the American Association of State Climatologists from 1984 to 1985. His work was printed in a variety of publications, and he was frequently interviewed for his expertise on natural disasters and climate change. Later in his career, he was a chief consultant to many United States agencies, including the World Meteorological Organization and the U.S. Agencies for International Development. As a reminder of Griffiths' achievements and an inspiration to future generations of meteorologists, Texas A&M offers a scholarship in his name. Provided by Wikipedia
