Important Information On Certified Meteorologist

By Betty Wallace


Generally, meteorologists are directly responsible in saving millions of lives, and they also play a crucial role in both private businesses and the government. However, meteorology is basically a science of the atmosphere, which involves examining the changing weather conditions. At the same time, meteorologists require a degree with more emphasis in meteorological studies. However, there are numerous career options for the certified meteorologist.

First, meteorologists can get involved in forecasting operations. Changes in weather conditions generally present severe threats to properties as well as lives. Operational meteorologists will forecast day-to-day weather patterns including temperature, precipitation, pressure, and clouds. In addition, they predict hazardous weather conditions such as hurricanes, floods, damaging winds, tornadoes and large hails. This category of meteorologists aim at communicating to the public the prevailing weather conditions. They remain very critical because most threatening events such as tornadoes will happen very rapidly hence demanding some weather forecasting expertise.

The other category of meteorology is aviation weather. This category involves forecasting various weather conditions for commercial airline industry. This is usually important since pilots need to avoid high winds, ash from volcanoes, as well as large hail, which may cause a crash or damage to the aircraft. The aviation specialists also forecast areas where there could be air turbulence.

There is also the broadcast meteorology category, which involves presentation of information regarding weather in the television and over the radio. These meteorologists are also important in giving warnings to the public. They usually encourage their viewers and listeners to get informed and take cover, more so during adverse weather conditions. Again, they educate the public the basic weather concepts such as fogs and thunderstorms. They also serve large cities, as well as densely populated areas that depend on daily weather forecast on visibility, temperature, and rainfall amount.

Another category of meteorology is applied research, which involves applying research analysis and current weather data to the practical problems. The applied research meteorologists might require at least a masters in meteorology related studies. They usually come up with new techniques and improve the existing technologies. Their contributions are such as development of satellite systems, automated surface observation systems, public alert systems, and modern weather radar.

Actually, there are various benefits attributable to precise weather forecasting. For example, accurate predictions of heavy rain, cold fronts or thunderstorms will enable timely adjustments to be made or air routes by airline dispatches for airplanes. Consequently, they can avoid costly delays.

On the contrary, precise details on wind patterns are essential to the national hurricane center when giving accurate predictions on hurricane tracks. In consequence, reasoned decision can be made on evacuating families in areas to be affected.

Finally, weather may also have serious immediate impacts in the lives of humans and animals. For instance, natural disasters like tornadoes, and hurricanes may result in weather pattern combinations which could kill or injure thousands of people. Such disasters also cause lasting damages to ecosystems and cities. However, when it is possible to understand and predict such weather patterns, it becomes useful when preparing for such disasters.
