2 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.

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

4 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.

5 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
