An expert in both tropical and marine meteorology, Dr. Lyons has been a participant in over 50 conferences on weather, both on a national and an international level. Each spring he speaks at hurricane preparedness conferences from New York to Texas. In addition, he has provided World Meteorological Organization training courses in tropical meteorology, ocean wave forecasting, and marine meteorology.
Not always in the public eye, Dr. Lyons has also worked for private companies, and has traveled the world reporting from many exotic and tropical locales. Today, he travels less and reports mostly from behind the desk at The Weather Channel. He is a fellow in the American Meteorological Society and a published author, having more than 20 articles in scientific journals. In addition he has created over 40 technical reports and articles, both for the Navy and for the National Weather Service.
In the spare time that he has, Dr. Lyons works to create models for forecasting. These models provide a great deal of the forecasting that is seen on The Weather Channel where hurricanes are concerned and can save lives.
