Meteorologist Arizona

Many may think that predicting the weather is the extent of what a meteorologist does. However, there are other applications for meteorology. A meteorologist may work near the airport or in the field. They may work in or near a large city or in a less populated area. Other meteorologists may work in a laboratory instead of in a large office. Though you may work in any number of different capacities as a meteorologist, there are operational meteorologists, environmental meteorologists, and climatologists.

2. Operational Meteorologists

Operational meteorologists are by far the largest segment of those who have studied meteorology. They predict the weather by researching wind velocity, air pressure, and ambient temperature. The information they collect is put through a set mathematical formula to predict both short and long-range forecasts. Their research comes from tools as diverse as weather radar, volunteers in the field, satellites and remote sensors.

You have probably heard your local TV station promote their Doppler radar, saying this radar helps make their forecasts more accurate. In some cases, this may be true. Doppler radar detects airflow, and helps to locate the most violent storms in the area. This can save lives since the Doppler radar will help to detect tornadoes and other storms that damage homes and put lives in danger.

Many industries rely heavily on operational meteorologists. The fishing industry needs accurate weather and current forecasts to determine where to go for the best fishing. Airlines need to know if there is a chance of weather delays. The shipping industry needs to know the location and speed of storms so they can avoid the most dangerous areas. Without operational meteorologists, the professionals in each of these industries would have a more difficult time doing their job.

3. Environmental Meteorologists

Environmental meteorologists study fuel usage and it is affect on air and water pollution to determine how our food production and water availability will be affected. Because pollution is worse in some places than others, environmental meteorologists need to keep track of the air quality. At times, the summer heat combined with air pollution causes the air quality to go below what is considered a "healthy" threshold. When this is the case, many cities or towns issue alerts about the poor air quality.

Environmental meteorologists work on environmental impact reports and the effect of pollution on air quality. This requires researching how pollution behaves after it has been released into the atmosphere. With the research, these meteorologists should be able to predict the effects of different pollutants and how they are affected by humidity, heat, and wind. With the data on pollution behavior, environmental meteorologists are able to analyze how well a pollution control system is working.

Environmental meteorologists are also responsible for testing the emissions of different environmental pollutants such as automobiles, coal plants, and factories. The test results enable environmental meteorologists create an environmental impact report. The environmental impact report helps the environmental meteorologists to predict the effect of pollution on ozone depletion and global warming.

4. Climatologists

Unlike the other two types of meteorologists, climatologists take the long view on their research and analysis. Like environmental meteorologists, climatologists predict the effect of pollution on ozone depletion and global warming. They analyze the overall effect of global warming on the earth’s climate. Climatologists’ reports may determine that the earth’s average temperature has decreased over the last hundred years.

In the last few years, the news has reported that climatologists have found the earth’s temperature has increased over the last few years. With the way the reports have been phrased, many were under the impression that all climatologists agreed about global warming. Many climatology websites show that not all climatologists agree that the earth’s temperature has changed over the last few centuries. Some climatologists believe that the earth’s average temperature has stayed the same.

This disagreement shows that climatologists need to do more research into the depletion of the ozone layer and global warming. Since climatologists each use a different basis for analysis, there is a possibility that they will not be able to come to an agreement on the possibility or probability of global warming. This only shows some climatologists fit their results to their personal theories.
