Biography
Northeast River Forecast Center (NERFC), NOAA
Jeane Wallace is a Senior Hydrologist at the Northeast River Forecast Center (NERFC), part of NOAA’s National Weather Service, where she serves as a hydrologic forecaster as well as the leader of the Hydrologic Modeling Team. Her primary focus outside of operational river forecasting is the hydrologic modeling of watersheds in New England and New York. She is also part of the team instrumental in implementing the Community Hydrologic Prediction Service (CHPS) at NERFC in 2011, which dramatically transformed the way river forecasts are produced. Prior to coming to NERFC in 2001, she was a hydrologist at the Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center in State College, PA and a Meteorologist Intern in Norman, OK. During the summer of 1991, she was a summer intern at the National Hurricane Center, then in Coral Gables, FL.
I believe I will bring a unique perspective to the Council, as I come with many years of experience in the public sector of the U.S. Weather Enterprise.
