Meet Barry J. Lough, a seasoned meteorologist with a B.Sc. in Physics and Meteorology from the University of Alberta, and an expert in air quality modelling. Barry’s career has spanned roles at Environment Canada, Duke Energy, and Calvin Consulting Group Ltd., where he’s made a real impact in improving environmental and air quality standards and now acts as CEO. He created the website, StuffintheAir.com to demystify meteorology, offering resources for students, teachers, and anyone curious about how weather forecasts are made. 

From tracking weather patterns with satellites and radar to simplifying complex scientific concepts for everyday people, Barry has combined his technical expertise with a gift for education. His site isn’t just about forecasting it’s an invitation to explore fundamental concepts, careers in meteorology and how weather impacts the world around us. And when he’s not analyzing air quality, Barry’s rocking out as a drummer and/or keyboardist with his bands, proving that even a weatherman can balance science with some serious fun.
