About

A meteorologist is a scientist who studies the atmosphere, weather patterns and climate. They use a combination of observational as well as analytical techniques to forecast weather patterns and interpret data related to the Earth's atmosphere.

Meteorologists are responsible for analyzing weather patterns, creating forecasts, issuing weather warnings and alerts to the public. They use a range of tools and instruments such as radar and satellite data, to monitor weather patterns as well as make predictions about future weather events. Meteorologists also use computer models and simulations to predict weather patterns and understand climate change.
