Meteorologist Forecaster Meteorology is a branch in Earth Science that deals with the processes and phenomena of the atmosphere. As a Meteorological Forecaster you use all parts of meteorological information to produce forecasts watches and warnings to protect life and property. A Meteorologist Forecaster will study atmospheric conditions that they will then use as a way to help forecast the weather. They may also use a variety of different tools, such as the Doppler Radar, satellites, and even special aircraft designed to fly in extreme weather, to analyze weather conditions. A typical work day includes analyzing current conditions,breaking down output from numerical model guidance, creating a forecast, and always monitoring the threat of hazardous weather. When you come to work you get briefed from the previous shift. You review all forecast products, any warnings watches, what's on radar and also take a look outside.Each day you are constantly checking out the weather radar. Meanwhile you are also getting new computerized weather models that will help you produce new forecasts. Lots of computer weather models and weather maps are used which show the flow of the atmosphere so …show more content…
In college you would major in Meteorology by getting a Masters of Science degreee.You would also have to minor in Mathematics. To get the degree in Meteorology you would have to take classes in meteorology, climatology, computer and data analysis, atmospheric dynamics, weather analysis and forecasting. To minor in Mathematics you would have to take many classes in calculus. During your college years you could do an internship with the National Weather Service which would increase your chances of getting hired after
Tornadoes are some of the most unpredictable weather we have on earth. Tornadoes belong to the category of meteorology in earth science. Meteorology is the science that deals with the weather and conditions. A tornado is a violent destructive whirling wind accompanied by a funnel-shaped cloud that progress in a narrow path over the land, (Merriam-Webster, 2014).
What is a tornado? A tornado is “a rapidly rotating vortex or funnel of air extending groundward from a cumulonimbus cloud.” (Haddow et al) Tornadoes produce destructive winds that can destroy everything that comes in its path. Meteorologists use the speed of the winds to classify the strength of tornadoes on the Fujita-Pearson scale. The weakest tornadoes, F0, have wind speeds from 65-85 miles per hour, all the way to an F5 tornado, with winds in excess of 200 miles per hour.
Do you believe in Witches? Back in the 1600’s they started to think that people were witches. I am not sure why, but they did specific tests to see if you were a witch. There were many different theories to why people started accusing people of being witches. You tell me are there witches or are they fake?

The weather report calls for below normal temperatures reaching into the low teens with a freezing rain snow mixture. The stores are packed and everyone is scrambling to buy supplies. Every gas station is out of bread, milk and fire wood. A bag of side walk salt cannot be found anywhere. This may be something that you deal with every winter. This type of weather may not be a big deal, or anything to cause panic where you live. But, where I live, this type of weather is a huge deal. We very rarely have to cope with bad weather. We like it that way!
Now, she is a nineteenth years old sophomore student and major in advertising at OU. The reason why she would like to study in the University of Oklahoma is because of the meteorology. As everyone knows, meteorology is one of the outstanding major in OU.
The weather conditions play a major influential role in a person’s daily life. Thoughts, feelings, and behaviors have be linked with different weather conditions, depending on the person. Different moods and behaviors have been correlated with different weather conditions, further proving its psychological effect. However, these same psychological influences have been examined to be more physiologically affecting. In this paper, the role of weather conditions, (positive and negative), in relation to their influence on behavioral health will be reviewed. It is hypothesized that exposure to constantly fluctuating levels of high barometric pressure will lead to negative behavior. The following literature reviews will demonstrate and support this hypothesis.
Ever wonder what the atmosphere consists of? What's it made out of, what type of weather patterns are there, what does a hurricane look like, or other natural phenomenon's of today's weather ? Well America, hopefully now we can! Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere and the effects it has on our weather. Climatology focuses on how atmospheric changes alter the world’s climates, aeronomy is the study of the upper parts of the atmosphere. Meteorology focuses on the lower parts of the atmosphere, primarily the troposphere, where most weather takes place. It has been released that under the supervision of NASA, President Dwight D Eisenhower and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) that they have launched a satellite called TIROS 1 out of Cape Canaveral, Florida that will observe, record, and transmit data back to headquarters. The first ever weather satellite has arrived and with much hope will change weather prediction for the future.
Climate, weather, and meteorology are 3 words that seem to be the same but in reality differ significantly. Two of these concepts pertain to the atmosphere but differ in what time and place they are studied in, and the last one is studying these concepts.
When a storm strikes, the aftermath of destruction that it leaves behind can be absolutely horrific. A hurricane can destroy houses, cars, towns, cities, and sometimes even states. A hurricane can cause fatalities, millions and millions of dollars in damages, but most important, in just a couple of hours, a hurricane can change your life for good. So what is a hurricane? According to NASA, hurricanes are simply just a large swirling storm. (Knows!) Such a basic definition for such a destructive event. When you think about just a large swirling storm you generally don’t come to think about a hurricane or even a tropical storm. However, hurricanes can produce winds speeds of over 160 mph and can unleash more than 2.4 trillion gallons of rain a day. The title, “Hurricane” does not apply everywhere in the world. In northern India and Bay of Bengal they are known as cyclones. In the western Pacific Ocean they are known as typhoons.
Throughout the entire hurricane season, meteorologists keep a close watch on the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. They examine pictures of the area taken by satellites, and also take information on air pressure, wind speed, and temperatures. One of their most important jobs is to gather information on where the storm will hit, and how powerful it will be.
Measurement approach- taking a range of temperatures over time, reading and observing the situation, also to assess the situation by getting expect advice and suggestions. Taking the maximum and minimum weather conditions implementing a plan based on this information. Triggering an evacuation alarm.
Meteorologists perform a wide range of tasks relating to atmospheric phenomena, yet they are generalized into five main categories: broadcast meteorologists, climate scientists, forensic meteorologists, research meteorologists and weather forecasters ("Atmospheric Scientists, Including Meteorologists."). Broadcast meteorologists are the men and women whom can be observed on television stations throughout the country. They are tasked with providing their viewers with the latest updates on severe weather along with a five day forecast based on reliable models (Garman). The second type of meteorologists are climate scientists. This group of trained experts is usually part of a larger team of researchers who study the climate of the
When bad weather is approaching, satellites are the reason meteorologists are able to inform Americans so quickly about the weather. In the article “Hurricane: Tracking and Researching Hurricanes,” satellite images are important to weather forecasters because by putting hours of pictures together from satellites into motion, they can gather information on the track and development of a tropical cyclone. Doing this helps Americans know where the cyclone would hit and when it would hit. Although we have found new technology that has helped Americans immensely, researching new things never stops. According to Scientific American, “The Nation Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) plans to launch new geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites that have greater resolution, helping forecasters to better predict the path that a nascent storm will take, as well as its intensity.” They also stated that “forecaster would be able to give U.S. residents and average of fourteen minutes of warning before a tornado would strike, for example” (“Improving Weather Prediction”). We have natural disasters in America every day and satellites help us know...
The connection between weather and a person’s mood is found within their basic descriptions. Mood is defined as a temporary state of mind or feeling, with emphasis on the fact that it’s not permanent. When something is temporary, it is only present for a limited period of time. Likewise, weather is defined as the state of the atmosphere at a place and time in regards to heat, dryness, sunshine, etc. For instance, alterations in weather can also cause alterations in mood; “immediately follow...
