Meteorologist

1) Meteorologists are people who study the atmosphere’s characteristics and weather changes. (Career Cruising, 2014). Meteorologist are very important, because they predict the weather that will happen over the days, which helps farmers (to manage their crops), pilots (to know where they shouldn’t pass because of storms), all citizens (to get ready for any storm), etc… (Career Cruising, 2014). Meteorologists predict weather by studying the atmospheric trends obtained from the atmosphere, hydrosphere and the lithosphere. (Career Cruising, 2014). Meteorologists use instruments to study the weather, they look at radars (to see any atmospheric changes), anemometers (to measure wind speed), psychrometers (to measure things relative to humidity), weather balloon (to send a measurement instrument to the atmosphere and let the instrument send info), etc… (wise GEEK, 2003)

2) Since meteorology is the study of the atmosphere and weather of the world, it relates to geography course because to study the weather and the atmosphere you have to see maps and graph your recordings. (Career Cruising, 2014). Also, it changes geographical locations and formations and influences it. Mountains force the air´s mass to make precipitation. Maps have to be used to know where the storm or the temperature is. ( Mel Goldstein, 2002)

3) Most meteorologist work in offices that are usually near weather stations. Their offices are full of technological instruments to study the atmosphere. (Mel Goldstein, 2002). All meteorologist´s offices have a computer that is usually connected to radars, anemometers and sometimes psychometers. (Mel Goldstein, 2002). Meteorologist also have to go out sometimes to study better the condition of the atmosphere or to let out...
