Do you have a student who is interested in the weather?
Weather affects our lives every day, yet it is a subject that few of us
understand in-depth.
Meteorology and climatology are sciences that deal with the
atmosphere and its phenomena. In addition to predicting the weather, scientists
attempt to identify and interpret climate trends, understand past weather, and
analyze today’s weather.
Meteorological research is applied in air-pollution control,
agriculture, forestry, air and sea transportation, and defense. Meteorologists
might analyze or develop numerical models, monitor rainfall and issue river
stage warnings, or fly in aircraft investigating hurricanes.
Employers include
