Janet and Walter Orr Roberts during a CBS interview at the Climax Observatory around 1945. Roberts and his wife Janet began their six-year residency at "The Fremont Pass Station of the Harvard College Observatory" on August 15, 1940. It was here that Roberts discovered the link between solar flares and radio interference, and during World War II the military used the information he gathered to ensure uninterrupted communications. Roberts went on to become the founding director of NCAR. Included is a link to an oral history interview where Roberts discusses his time at the Climax Observatory and other topics: http://n2t.net/ark:/85065/d7k64gcq.
