He did not have a college degree in meteorology. His doctorate was in optometry, a profession he pursued for a time before television. Dr. Field’s title was derived from being a weather forecaster in the military.

Field brought in Dr. Henry J. Heimlich, the creator, to the studio for a demonstration. Field received a citation at the New York Emmy Awards in 1975 for “reporting developments in the applied sciences.” He was also a fellow at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, where he studied the relationship between weather and health.
