Meteorologist Assignment

598 Words3 Pages

Intro: The disciplinarian I selected is a meteorologist. Meteorologist use tools like Barometers to assess the climate, forecast, precipitation and visibility of the area. They would study not only the upcoming weather and climate but the past as well to see patterns. Task statement: As a meteorologist I study the upcoming weather and climate and its impact on our planet. To research I will use books and credible websites on the topic. I will prove this with a website, news report and a packet with a quiz. Big Idea: There are past effects and current effects of weather and climate. Giant Idea: Weather patterns, climate zones, and ocean currents are studied by the multiple perspectives of biologists, ecologists, meteorologists and oceanographers …show more content…

According to http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/climate.htm: Africa has Tropical, Dry and Temperate climate zones. Asia and Europe have Tropical, Dry, Temperate, Cold and Polar. Australia has Tropical, Temperate and Dry. The Americas have Tropical, Dry, Temperate, Cold and polar. What are all the tools meteorologist use? According to https://www.learner.org/exhibits/weather/forecasting2.html: Meteorologist use a variety of tools. They use thermometers to measure the temperature. They also use anemometers to measure how fast/slow the wind is traveling. They use barometers to asses the air pressure. They use satellites to figure out when huge storm systems are approaching. These satellites will help them predict when hurricanes, monsoons and other large storm systems. Meteorologist use a thing called a doppler this is part of using a satellite. Do meteorologists study ocean currents and tides? According to: How do you operate a barometer? According to http://www.artofmanliness.com/2015/07/07/fair-or-foul-how-to-use-a-barometer/: Barometers were often used by aircraft operators, sailor, and plainout ordinary people. Barometers test air pressure to find the upcoming

    One way forecasters do this is use weather radars to view thunderstorms. This radar is called a Doppler radar. These radars show changes and the direction in which the thunderstorm is going. Storm spotters watch tornadoes, from the ground, as they form. They report what they see to the National Weather Service (Aboff & Sotirovski, 2012, p. 11).

    “Meteorologists are able to predict the changes in weather patterns by using several different tools. They use these tools to measure atmospheric conditions that occurred in the past and present, and they apply this information to create educated guesses about the future weather.” (Students Ask: How Do Meteorologists Predict The Weather?, Chrissy Warrilow) From previous experiences, we know that certain levels of air pressure, temperatures, and wind speeds will lead to different kinds of weather-thus the use of science to explain when and why environmental phenomena occurs. We can be sure of this since scientists are constantly using the scientific method to show proof of technology being able to pick of early signs that phenomenas will

They are now as Beach says, using their knowledge and information to make better technology, which can help us predict the future outcomes to protect not only our planet but the people who live on it (ch 6, para. 40). Beach confirms that the first part of the scientific process is the literature review (ch 6, para. 41). Scientists will review data on a topic, evaluate it and see if the previous process and methods used all the accurate tools they needed to draw a valid conclusion.

  • Climate Change Is Relevant In Today's World

    Climate change is an issue that is relevant in today 's world. There is a vast amount of evidence suggesting that climate change is real, and could potentially have a drastic impact on our planet if the necessary measures aren’t taken to stop and reverse its effects. Human decisions have led to global warming, and those choices are what will potentially harm not only us, but also our planet. One evidence for global warming can be seen in the significant change in the record of high and low temperatures on this planet “The number of record high temperatures have been increasing and the record of low temperatures have been decreasing since the 1950”(NASA). Regions that are already vulnerable to extreme temperatures can be further affected by a downward
