Otis Brown is a Research Professor in the Department of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and the director of the North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies (NCICS) at North Carolina State University (NCSU). At NCSU, Dr. Brown led the formation and development of NCICS as an University of North Carolina System inter-institutional research center. NCICS has served as host for a NOAA Cooperative Institute since 2009 and is co-located with NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information in Asheville, NC. Dr. Brown was NCSU Principal Investigator (PI) and Director for the NOAA Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites – North Carolina (CICS-NC) from 2009-2019 and, since 2019, is now leading the successor CI, the Cooperative Institute for Satellite Earth System Studies in North Carolina (CISESS NC). NCICS/CISESS provides research to operations, stewardship, access, system engineering, and system prototyping support to NOAA. Prior to coming to NCSU, Dr. Brown was a University of Miami Professor in the Division of Meteorology and Physical Oceanography and served as Dean of the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science from 1995 through 2009. While at Miami Dr. Brown was a member of the NASA EOS MODIS Science Team and was responsible for the algorithms and processing system for the global sea surface temperature product as well as validation methodologies and support for the TERRA/ MODIS and AQUA/MODIS instruments. Dr. Brown’s specialties include radiative transfer in the ocean-atmosphere system for visible light; particulate scattering in sea water; satellite infrared observations of sea surface temperature; kinematical studies of warm core rings; transient processes in western boundary currents; tropical eco-system function in the Caribbean and Arabian Seas; innovative approaches to developing diversity and K-12 education; and inter-disciplinary studies of climate change and severe weather impacts. His interests also include strategies to address the science / policy interface and public outreach. He is the recipient of multiple NASA Group Achievement Awards, and a fellow of the American Meteorological Society and the AAAS. He earned his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Miami in 1973. He served as a member of the National Academies Oceans Studies Board, Space Studies Board Earth Sciences Decadal Survey Committee, and the Committee on Radio Frequencies. He also was a member of the Environmental Task Force and MEDEA.
