This job offers those who study it an opportunity to investigate the forces that shape both weather/climate and how human activities affect climate through the introduction of pollutants into the atmosphere. Education Required: To become a meteorologist‚ you must go to university. The minimum education required is a bachelor’s degree in atmospheric sciences or meteorology. A master’s degree greatly improves your

changed. Also‚ the weather station may have changed locations which could also signify a population growth within the community. According to the text book‚ the temperature will increase when activity increases. Ahrens‚ C. (2015). Essentials of meteorology. Andover: Cengage Learning 2. Positive feedback is a process whereby an initial change in atmospheric process will to tend to reinforce the process; negative feedback will weaken the process. An example of a positive feedback is the water vapor-greenhouse

1) Which of the six colors of the rainbow is refracted the greatest? Out of the 7 colors of the rainbow‚ Violet is refracted the greatest. 2) What is a mirage and why does it always disappear as the observer gets closer? A mirage is a naturally occurring optical phenomenon in which light rays are bent to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky. Mirages appear at very low viewing angles‚ when you are far away. As you approach‚ the viewing angle increases and the mirage disappears

Essay #1 Climate‚ Weather‚ and Meteorology are often used interchangeably‚ however they all mean very different things. Climate and Weather are very similar in that they are talking about the same things just at different times. Meteorology is nothing like these two it is much more. It uses both to make up itself. All of these terms fall under the same category of weather and how it is perceived whether it be current‚ over a period of time‚ or the study of both. Weather is something we all experience

Caleb Clingan ESCI 1123 1. Distinguish between weather and climate. Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a particular place and time. Climate is a location’s average weather conditions over a specific period of time. For example‚ Weather looks at what is happening right now. Climate however looks at what the weather as done in the past and projects what the weather should do. Like normally we get 20 inches of rain in the summer and it’s safe to assume that we will receive close

Valleys that are encased by mountains or hills are the most at risk‚ such as Los Angeles and Mexico City‚ since the polluted air in essentially trapped by the surrounding terrain. Ahrens‚ C. (2015).

The main factor which tends to weaken a hurricane is when it loses its source

Thesis: How accurate or inaccurate were Aristotle ’s writings on meteorology? Introduction: Aristotle wrote about many subjects that can be grouped into five general divisions: logic‚ physical works‚ psychological works‚ natural history works‚ and philosophical works. One of the little known physical works concerned meteorology. Aristotle ’s views on meteorology are fascinating‚ but many of the views were not accurate. This paper compares only a few of his views to actual meteorological facts

He also taught Dalton some science including chemistry‚ and meteorology. Dalton took an interest in meteorology‚ so he began keeping a daily weather journal. By Daltons early twenties‚ he accepted a teaching job at a Quaker university‚ in Manchester‚ the largest city in England. He also joined several scientific organizations including

The science of meteorology was eventually referred to the study of the atmosphere. Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere. Meteorologists‚ also known as atmospheric scientists‚ study the atmosphere’s physical characteristics‚ motions‚ processes‚ and the way it effects the rest of our environment.
