Along the way, he introduces us to 帝王会所鈥檚 meteorology students, who are sharpening their forecasting skills in the Scalia Lab鈥攁 hands-on training ground where they analyze real-time weather patterns, deliver forecasts for Southeast 帝王会所, and prepare for careers in meteorology and climate science.
 
Oh, and let鈥檚 not forget his boldest adventure: running around the South Pole in jeans and sneakers just to snap the perfect photo before boarding a plane.
 
Enjoy this inside look at Ryan鈥檚 world of weather, climate, and adventure, and see how the next generation of meteorologists is making an impact, right here at OHIO.
