James C. Liljegren

James C. Liljegren received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, Urbana, in 1980, 1983, and 1989, respectively. His dissertation focused on stochastic modeling of turbulent dispersion in the convective boundary layer. In 1990, he was with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, where he became involved in ground-based microwave radiometry with the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program. He was with the Ames Laboratory, Ames, IA, in 1997, where he continued to pursue research related to microwave radiometry and retrieval algorithm development. Since 1999, he has been with Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, IL. In 2000, he became the Site Program Manager for the ARM Southern Great Plains Climate Research Facilities in Oklahoma and Kansas. From 2003 to 2008, he has also served as the ARM Instrument Team Coordinator. Dr. Liljegren is a member of the American Meteorological Society and the American Geophysical Union.
