What this job involves

27 documented tasks, most important first. Showing 24.

  1. Develop or use mathematical or computer models for weather forecasting.
  2. Interpret data, reports, maps, photographs, or charts to predict long- or short-range weather conditions, using computer models and knowledge of climate theory, physics, and mathematics.
  3. Conduct meteorological research into the processes or determinants of atmospheric phenomena, weather, or climate.
  4. Formulate predictions by interpreting environmental data, such as meteorological, atmospheric, oceanic, paleoclimate, climate, or related information.
  5. Broadcast weather conditions, forecasts, or severe weather warnings to the public via television, radio, or the Internet or provide this information to the news media.
  6. Prepare forecasts or briefings to meet the needs of industry, business, government, or other groups.
  7. Direct forecasting services at weather stations or at radio or television broadcasting facilities.
  8. Gather data from sources such as surface or upper air stations, satellites, weather bureaus, or radar for use in meteorological reports or forecasts.
  9. Develop computer programs to collect meteorological data or to present meteorological information.
  10. Prepare weather reports or maps for analysis, distribution, or use in weather broadcasts, using computer graphics.
  11. Develop and deliver training on weather topics.
  12. Prepare scientific atmospheric or climate reports, articles, or texts.
  13. Collect air samples from planes or ships over land or sea to study atmospheric composition.
  14. Analyze climate data sets, using techniques such as geophysical fluid dynamics, data assimilation, or numerical modeling.
  15. Analyze historical climate information, such as precipitation or temperature records, to help predict future weather or climate trends.
  16. Consult with other offices, agencies, professionals, or researchers regarding the use and interpretation of climatological information for weather predictions and warnings.
  17. Teach college-level courses on topics such as atmospheric and space science, meteorology, or global climate change.
  18. Design or develop new equipment or methods for meteorological data collection, remote sensing, or related applications.
  19. Research the impact of industrial projects or pollution on climate, air quality, or weather phenomena.
  20. Conduct wind assessment, integration, or validation studies.
  21. Conduct numerical simulations of climate conditions to understand and predict global or regional weather patterns.
  22. Estimate or predict the effects of global warming over time for specific geographic regions.
  23. Speak to the public to discuss weather topics or answer questions.
  24. Apply meteorological knowledge to issues such as global warming, pollution control, or ozone depletion.
