Discover the impact of one brilliant woman on the theories and people of meteorology.

Peggy Lemone

As a researcher at National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) since 1972, Dr. Lemone has focused much of her research on observational field programs. Currently, she runs education outreach programs to inspire and encourage future meteorologists – just as Joanne inspired her to pursue a career in meteorology as a woman.
