Alex Hewett

I am an associate scientist within the Assimilation and Verification Innovation Division (AVID) of the NOAA Global Systems Laboratory (GSL). My work is with the Forecast Impact and Quality Assessment Section (FIQAS) team, where we evaluate aviation weather products and perform core research to investigate techniques and data sources for forecast verification.

I served in the Navy as a search and rescue swimmer before getting my degree in meteorology from the University of Washington. After a couple of internships with aerospace companies, NASA, and NOAA, I worked as an operations engineer at another aerospace company before coming to CIRES.
