Aviation Expert 1

I have been in the Weather Station (and in particular the Aviation Meteorological) market for over 30 years and have worked with many United States agencies and International governments to help determine and supply their weather measuring systems. I've seen the technology advance through 30+ years and have a keen interest in what it can and can't do for providing valuable information for operations, leisure and forecasting. I stay current in the technology and implementation of this instrumentation.
I'm also familiar with the "shock" that air traffic controllers and observers encounter when switching to reports from instruments. The disparity from what a human can view and report and what instruments can observe and report is often a learning experience. There are real (and some imagined) restrictions on automated instruments. I'm mostly retired and I like to hike, travel, cycle and kite board. Love to read thrillers and murder mysteries mixed with some classics and always open to suggestions of this type combined with historical fact - or near fact.
Hope to add some interesting if not valuable information to Wikipedia concerning the state of weather monitoring and/or aviation weather monitoring.
Feel free to drop a line anytime and I'm always open to hearing about good historically based thriller books!
