What's a Meteorologist?
When we hear the word meteorologist, we often think of someone on TV who announces the day's weather. While many weathercasters are professional meteorologists, others are reporters who pass along weather information.
Meteorologists do many things, some of which may surprise you. Besides forecasting, they study the atmosphere and investigate the forces shaping weather and climate. They also try to predict how human activities affect the planet.
