Jim
Johnson is a Consulting Meteorologist who specializes in Marine
and Aviation Meteorology. As a retired International Captain
for Delta Air Lines, he has spent much of his life in a three
dimensional “weather aquarium” observing weather
first hand from the ground to 40,000 feet. He has seen towering
thunderstorms up close and personal, and spent thousands of
hours in the upper troposphere where surface features that
form tens of thousands of feet below are born.
He has
written a book on hazardous weather; numerous magazine articles,
and is a contributing author to World Book Encyclopedia. Jim
has been a frequent guest on The Weather Channel, and worked
with Tom Skilling on Chicago’s WGN-TV weather special
When Lightning Strikes.
Jim’s
unique viewpoint stems from the fact that he not only understands
the weather, but has flown in it and sailed in it. Jim brings
this rare perspective and vast experience, along with beautiful
photography, to every program he teaches. Discover the hidden
workings of a thunderstorm -- how it forms, grows and dies.
Emphasis placed on visual hazard recognition from your vessel,
weather judgment and decision making.
