Operational Meteorologist Joel Midgett Mrs. Thomas English IV

What is a Meteorologist? 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. This specialized education would be a bachelor's or higher degree in meteorology.

Who hires an operational meteorologist? National Weather Service/ NOAA The Weather Channel Insurance and Risk Management Companies Universities and Colleges The Military

What do they do? Make visual observations Take readings from weather equipment Analyze current weather conditions Interpret weather maps, models, satellite, and the radar data to create short- term and long-term weather forecast.

What tools do they use? Anonometers record the wind speed Barometer measures the pressure exerted by the atmosphere by using air, water, and mercury. Thermometers measure temperature
