NWS chief backs forecasters who contradicted Trump
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — The acting chief scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said his agency likely violated its scientific integrity rules last week when it publicly chastised a weather office that contradicted President Donald Trump's claim that Hurricane Dorian threatened Alabama.
In the email, first reported by The Washington Post, McLean said he is"pursuing the potential violations" of the agency's science integrity policy. "They did that with one thing in mind: public safety," said Uccellini, who prompted a standing ovation at a meeting of the National Weather Association by asking members of the Birmingham weather staff to stand.
McLean said that the NOAA Scientific Integrity Policy tells all agency employees to"approach all scientific activities with honesty, objectively, and completely, without allegiance to individuals, organizations, or ideology." The scientific integrity policy is not criminal and has no punishments, said former NOAA general counsel and deputy administrator Monica Medina, who served in the Barack Obama and Bill Clinton administrations. She praised McLean and Uccellini"for looking into the matter and holding their current leadership accountable."
