http://www.mesoscale.iastate.edu/agmet/gradprog.htm

Extractions: Iowa State University The goal of the Agricultural Meteorology program is to provide M.S. and Ph.D. students with advanced techniques which will enable them to address environmental and agricultural problems facing our global community. The basic components of this program are derived from expertise in agronomy, botany, statistics and meteorology at Iowa State University. The Agricultural Meteorology program benefits from outstanding research facilities. These include high-performance computational and graphical workstations, as well as a range of equipment for conducting field experiments. Students often work cooperatively with other ISU departments as well as affiliated instutions such as the National Soil Tilth Laboratory. Independent research is an essential component of graduate education. Reseach problems that students undertake depend on their personal interests and on the objectives of the research project with which they are working. Research is designed to provide new information that will merit publication in refereed journals. All students, regardless of their source of financial support, are expected to participate in research projects directed by their major professor. Most graduate students in Agricultural Meteorology are supported by research or teaching assistantships. The Charles and Verna Brown Scholarship provides an annual award of approximately $1,000 to an outstanding graduate student in Agricultural Meteorology.

http://tornado.sfsu.edu/geosciences/Media.html

Extractions: Last Revised The purpose of the program is to provide certification that students interested in making weathercasting a career have completed the academic coursework mandated by the American Meteorological Society's (AMS) Board of Broadcast Meteorology . Successful completion of these courses is a partial requirement for applicants seeking the coveted AMS Broadcast Seal for Radio and Television. Note that persons seeking the Broadcast Seal for Radio and Television must also be members of the AMS (note: by taking the courses listed below, seekers of the Certificate will automatically be qualified for AMS membership). The Broadcast Seal is widely-sought by those in the profession of broadcast meteorology, both in the radio and television venues. The Seal represents an external certification of the on-air meteorologist's qualifications and competence and is often required of applicants for on-air media positions. Please note that students striving to meet the academic requirements for the Broadcast Seal are not REQUIRED to have the Certificate, but are REQUIRED to have courses comparable to those in the list. The Department of Geosciences has created the Certificate Program to package these courses in a convenient listing and to provide students with certification of completion of the academic requirements. Students should be aware that the AMS will evaluate the degree to which the academic requirements (as outlined below) are completed. If the academic requirements are met, the AMS will then require submission of three video- or audiotape examples of the student's broadcast work. Students are strongly encouraged to contact the

Extractions: This information defines the course of study leading to a B.S. in Meteorology at SUNY College at Brockport and should be used in conjunction with the SUNY Brockport Undergraduate Studies catalog, Your Right To Know, and the Academic Policies Handbook. This information applies to students matriculating Spring 2002 or later. (If you matriculated earlier, contact the Department of the Earth Sciences for the earlier handbook.) The Meteorology major is structured as a professional preparation track to employment with the National Weather Service, governmental agencies, the military services, private meteorological and engineering firms, and as prerequisite to graduate study in the atmospheric and related sciences. The strong physical science orientation of the program prepares students to enter numerous related fields, including environmental and computer science, hydrology, and wind and solar energy utilization. Designed to provide a sound basis for the student with strong aptitude and interest in mathematics, physics, and chemistry in application to the atmospheric environment, this plan of study may be oriented toward a special interest area by the judicious choice of electives. Recent graduates have gone on to attend nationally renowned graduate schools, to operate their own weather and environmental forecasting and consulting companies; and to work for state and county agencies, public utilities, U.S. Government laboratories, commercial airlines, the military services, and private industry.

http://www.comet.ucar.edu/class/faculty/Aug12_2002/faculty.htm

Extractions: Purpose of the Course The confluence of a national call for improving undergraduate education (e.g., Scrutiny of Undergraduate Geoscience Education, Shaping the Future, and Geoscience Education: A Recommended Strategy), the rapid development of technology, and the emergence of new models of how students learn have created a climate for a reassessment of how the foundation courses in undergraduate meteorology programs are taught. Most of the required meteorology courses are now characterized by a lecture format which many educators have argued focuses on memorization of factual information that promotes the development of superficial understandings and inert knowledge. The goal for this course is to help faculty in undergraduate meteorology programs create more effective learning environments through the innovative use of technology and instructional strategies. Course Content The New Approaches to Meteorology Education course for University Faculty will use thermodynamics as the topic for hands-on learning for faculty seeking to improve the learning environments for students. Topics to be addressed will include: how students learn, demonstrating learning, establishing course goals and choosing instructional media. During this course, faculty will be exposed to tools such as streaming media, portfolio assessment, and course managers. They will also be introduced to resources from the meteorology community such as the COMET multimedia data base, interactive java activities and MetApps. The faculty will use contemporary pedagogies to create group projects that will be pilot versions of innovative approaches to helping students understand principles of atmospheric thermodynamics.

Extractions: Meteorologists Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere, the air that covers the earth. Meteorologists study the atmosphere's physical characteristics, motions, and processes, and the way the atmosphere affects the rest of our environment. The best-known application of this knowledge is in forecasting the weather. However, weather information and meteorological research also are applied in air-pollution control, agriculture, air and sea transportation, defense, and the study of trends in the earth's climate such as global warming or ozone depletion. Meteorologists who forecast the weather, known professionally as operational meteorologists, are the largest group of specialists. They study information on air pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind velocity, and they apply physical and mathematical relationships to make short-and long-range weather forecasts. Their data come from weather satellites, weather radar, and remote sensors and observers in many parts of the world. Meteorologists use sophisticated computer models of the world's atmosphere to help forecast the weather and interpret the results of these models to make long-term, short-term, and local-area forecasts. These forecasts inform not only the general public, but also those who need accurate weather information for both economic and safety reasons, as in the shipping, aviation, agriculture, fishing, and utilities industries. The use of weather balloons, launched twice a day, to measure wind, temperature, and humidity in the upper atmosphere, is being supplemented by more sophisticated weather equipment which transmits data as frequently as every few minutes. Doppler radar, for example, can detect rotational patterns in violent storm systems, allowing forecasters to better predict thunderstorms, tornadoes, flash floods, as well as their direction and intensity.

http://www.ucar.edu/communications/quarterly/fall95/survey.html

Extractions: UCAR Communications Quarterly Fall 1995 ... Search The results are in from a comprehensive survey on educational outreach in the atmospheric and oceanic science communities. The survey was conducted by a subcommittee of the UCAR Academic Affiliates chaired by David Smith of the U.S. Naval Academy. At the annual meeting of UCAR members' representatives last month in Boulder, Colorado, Smith reviewed the results, noting some encouraging news as well as possible areas for improvement in meteorological and oceanographic education. The survey was designed to assess the involvement of the atmospheric and oceanic science communities in precollege educational and outreach activities and to determine the extent of university offerings of introductory courses for future science teachers. Surveys were sent to 102 institutions; responses were received from 71, including 38 UCAR members, 16 UCAR affiliates, and 17 other institutions. These respondents represent, Smith says, an excellent cross-section of the atmospheric and oceanic programs in the country, including those that offer both undergraduate and graduate courses. The survey did uncover a variety of activities, and also pointed out some potentially fruitful opportunities for the community to exploit more fully. Although there are national networks of precollege teachers who serve as resource agents for the atmospheric and oceanic sciences and most respondents are familiar with the programs, less than a third of the universities interact with these teachers. This is unfortunate, Smith says, because these teachers could serve as a conduit to reach other precollege teachers.
