Meteorologist Geoff Linsley

Geoff Linsley earned his Bachelor’s degree in Atmospheric Science from Texas A&M University. He has worked as a forecast meteorologist for West Coast Weather LLC since 2014, for Precision Forecasting LLC since 2021, and for Columbia Gorge Fruit Growers since 2024. His research work focuses on tornadoes, including relating F4 and F5 tornadoes in the U.S. with solar electromagnetic and geomagnetic data, and he appears to have discovered a correlation with ranges of USGS-measured solar electromagnetic and geomagnetic radiation levels, creating a new parameter to observe when trying to forecast the most intense tornadoes.
