Who are Meteorologists?

Question

Who can be a meteorologist?

Answer 1

Meteorologists analyze and forecast weather, provide consultation on atmospheric phenomena and conduct research into the processes and phenomena of weather, climate and atmosphere.

Employment requirements: A bachelor's or master's degree in meteorology, physics, mathematics or in a related field is required. A doctoral degree is usually required for employment as a research scientist in meteorology.

Answer 2

A meteorologist is an individual with specialized education who uses scientific principles to explain, understand, observe or forecast the earth's atmospheric phenomena and/or how the atmosphere affects the earth and life on the planet.
Activities of a meteorologist often are classified into a number of specialized areas. A few examples are: air pollution meteorology, global climate modeling, hydrometeorology, and numerical analysis and forecasting. These activities often require additional specialized education in related subjects.

The designation meteorologist applies to individuals who have attained the professional knowledge outlined above. Individuals who have little formal education in the atmospheric sciences, or who have taken only industry survey courses, and who disseminate weather information and forecasts prepared by others, are properly designated "weathercasters."

Answer 3

There is another place you can be a meteorologist - in the US Military. All branches but the Army offer the weather career field. A standard day as a US Air Force forecaster would be as follows: Come on shift, receive a weather briefing from the forecaster you're relieving, then begin your shift's journey. You are responsible for issuing a forecast for your base every six hours, issuing weather watches, warnings, and advisories as needed, monitoring the Doppler weather radar, issuing individual flight briefings for the routes that the aircraft will be flying (usually an hour or so prior to each take-off), and taking hourly weather observations (more frequently when the weather is changing). So, on a clear blue day, not too busy. On a bad weather day, oh holy hell. Your PRIMARY objective each day is to provide the weather for the aircraft, and some weather conditions ground light aircraft, which requires you to be on the ball your entire shift. Speaking of shifts, they tend to be rotating. Fun job, though.
