“Jainey’s knowledge of NOAA, along with her skills and expertise, make her the right fit for this critical position at a time when climate and oceans are central to so many key policies and decisions,” said NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad, Ph.D. “I look forward to working with Jainey again and know she will be a champion of NOAA’s science, service and stewardship mission — especially when it comes to connecting communities to the vast array of NOAA’s actionable climate data and information.
