George L. Frederick, President and CEO of Falcon Consultants LLC is a meteorological

consultant specializing in operational applications and instrumentation. In this role, he

promotes the use of wind profiler technology and meteorological systems around the world.

and other meteorological sensors to users around the globe. Large programs such as the US

Army Mobile Profiler program in support of its test ranges, projects at Cape Canaveral and

Vandenberg in support of space launch facilities, numerous individual projects in support of air

quality operations, and large tropospheric profiler projects in the UK, China and Germany, all

fell under his purview.

He began his career in meteorology as a weather officer in the U.S. Air Force, after graduating

from the Air Force Academy in 1963 with a degree in engineering science. He retired as the

Commander of the Air Weather Service after 30 years in the Air Force. During his military

the buildup of weather support during Operation Desert Storm in the Middle East. He led and

managed weather units from detachment level to squadron to wing and finally the Air Weather

Service which had oversight of weather support to the entire Air Force and Army. He earned

numerous awards for his work including the Bronze Star and the Legion of Merit.

Among his many roles within the scientific community, he served as president of the American
