Reviews about the profession
“No one can do without their weather service. Big City. The weather forecast is necessary not only so that people know how to dress tomorrow and whether to take an umbrella. Without a weather forecast, it is impossible to efficiently debug the work of the city’s municipal services, which are responsible for providing heating in houses and removing snow from the streets during the cold season, as well as many smaller, but weather-dependent things.”
From an interview with a meteorologist.
Stereotypes, humor
“Today there will be temperature and air. Precipitation and atmospheric pressure are possible.”
“Life is like a weather forecast: everything comes true, just not on time.”
"Announcement. Due to insufficient funding, the city hydrometeorological station is switching to weather phenomena recording mode.”
Education
To work as a meteorologist you need a college degree. specialized education. You can study, for example, at the Russian State Hydrometeorological University (St. Petersburg). You can also get this profession at a university that has a geography department.

Reference
People's attempts to predict the weather have been known since ancient times. In their forecasts, they were guided by changes in the world around them. Many of the vintage folk signs have survived to this day.
The most accurate information about methods for determining the weather appeared in Ancient Greece. Already in Aristotle’s work “Meteorology,” written in the 4th century BC, an explanation is given of how wind, clouds, rain, and hail are formed. Meteorology, which appeared thanks to the Greeks, is the science of earth's atmosphere and the phenomena occurring in it - helped to develop a whole system of compiling weather forecasts.
Demand for the profession
Very in demand
Currently, profession Meteorologist considered to be in high demand in the labor market. Many firms and many enterprises need qualified specialists in this field, because the industry is developing rapidly, and specialists are still receiving education.

How users rated this criterion:Description:
Meteorologist (from the Greek meteoros, atmospheric and celestial phenomena) - weather specialist, observer and researcher atmospheric phenomena.
Meteorology is the science of the earth's atmosphere and the phenomena occurring in it. In many countries, meteorology is called atmospheric physics, which is more consistent with its current meaning.
The word meteorology was first mentioned by Plato (about 429-347 BC), and Aristotle’s Meteorology is considered the first work on weather and climate. This book has been used for almost 2000 years.
Meteorologists observe natural phenomena, analyze them and make forecasts. Meteorologists are called weather sentries; they are always on watch, which cannot be left for a minute. They monitor all weather changes, record all these changes, monitor the sky constantly, enter observation data into special magazines, collect, evaluate and systematize data on atmospheric phenomena coming from hydrometeorological stations, readings from special instruments, atmospheric probes, and space satellites. Analyze materials, reflect them on material media (geographical maps, graphs) highlighting areas and zones of low, high pressure, movement of cyclones, anticyclones. Meteorologists make forecasts of air temperature dynamics, atmospheric pressure, precipitation, wind strength and direction, monitor the level of air pollution, and transmit information to the central node - the hydrometeorological center.
There is no profession more international than that of a meteorologist. Weather occurs anywhere and moves anywhere on the planet, regardless of any state borders, so meteorologists collaborate with meteorologists from other countries. They conduct joint research, observe natural phenomena, collect, process and disseminate meteorological information. Special meteorological codes and standard symbols have been developed for this purpose. Experts in this field obtain information, compare and contrast. For this purpose, a uniform system of measures has been introduced for the whole world, uniform methods of carrying out meteorological observations, unified standard instruments are used, the accuracy and time of observations of the relevant meteorological elements are strictly observed.
Weather observations are carried out at weather stations, which can be located either within the city or at a very great distance from housing.
Place of work
The place of work of a meteorologist can be meteorological stations and posts that are scattered throughout the country, oceanographic research vessels, the hydrometeorological service of Russia, information Center weather, weather services at airports and seaports, cosmodromes, aerological stations, urban planning organizations, research institutes.
Meteorologists work at meteorological stations and posts, in the research departments of the State Hydrometeorological Service, the Ministry of Defense and the State Committee for Ecology.
In particular, Hydromet has its own divisions in each region.
Its specialists are engaged in modeling weather forecasts, climate, and atmospheric research (using radars, satellites, etc.).
Meteorologists are participants in a wide variety of expeditions. They work at polar stations and on high mountain plateaus, at airfields and on board ocean liners, in sparsely populated areas and passes, at airfields, we fly on airplanes and balloons.
Meteorologists also work in private companies that provide forecasts for aviation, shipping, Agriculture, construction, in military organizations.
Responsibilities:
· Weather monitoring.
· Data collection from devices.
· Primary analysis of the obtained data.
· Study and forecasting of natural phenomena.
· Study of the atmosphere and its layers.
· Weather and climate forecasting.
Requirements:
The main requirement for the work of meteorologists is strict objectivity in observations and their processing, as well as constant attention to the object of observation. A meteorologist must know everything that happens and can happen in the atmosphere: the origin and spread of hurricanes, typhoons and others strong winds, the movements of cyclones and anticyclones, what precipitation falls and in what quantity, be able to explain various natural anomalies and much more.
A person who has chosen the profession of “Meteorologist” must have many qualities. He must be able to endure adverse weather and loneliness. Maintain performance in uncomfortable situations temperature conditions. Be physically prepared for exposure to adverse factors natural environment. Be able to organize your activities in conditions of a large flow of information and a variety of tasks. Carry out measurements accurately and carefully, have a tendency to monotonous work, have a good eye, a developed attention span, notice minor (barely noticeable) changes in the object under study, in instrument readings; have a good memory for symbols(signs, symbols, plans, diagrams, graphs); have a tendency to research activities; ability to analyze and compare facts.
Education: higher education majoring in Meteorology. You can also get this profession at any university that has a geography department and relevant departments. The specialty of a meteorologist can be obtained in secondary institutions vocational education: hydrometeorological technical schools

Teacher's story
I want to start today’s conversation about professions with the famous poem by Sergei Mikhalkov “What do you have?”
Who's on sitting on a bench,
Who looked at the street
Tolya sang,
Boris was silent
Nikolai shook his leg.
It was in the evening
There was nothing to do.
The jackdaw sat on the fence,
The cat climbed into the attic.
Then Borya told the guys
Just:
- And I have a nail in my pocket!
And you?
- And we have a guest today!
And you?
- And we have a cat today
I gave birth to kittens yesterday.
The kittens have grown a little
But they don’t want to eat from a saucer!
- And we have gas in our apartment!
And you?
- And we have running water!
- And from our window
Red Square is visible!
And from your window
Just a little bit of the street.
- We walked along Neglinnaya,
We went to the boulevard
They bought us blue-blue
Pre-green red ball!
- And our fire went out -
This time!
The truck brought firewood -
That's two!
And fourthly - our mother
Takes flight
Because our mother
It's called a pilot!
Vova answered from the stairs:
- Mom is a pilot?
What's wrong?
Here at Kolya, for example,
Mom is a policeman!
And Tolya and Vera
Both mothers are engineers!
And Leva’s mother is a cook!
Mom is a pilot?
What's wrong!
“More important than everyone else,” said Nata, “
Mom is a carriage driver,
Because up to the hooks
Mom drives two trailers.
And Nina asked quietly:
- Is it bad to be a dressmaker?
Who sews panties for the boys?
Well, of course not a pilot!
A pilot flies planes -
This is very good!
The cook makes compotes -
It is also good.
The doctor is treating us for measles,
There is a teacher at school.
We need different mothers
Different mothers are important.
It was in the evening
There was no point in arguing.
Today I will tell you about the profession of a meteorologist. This is a very important profession because meteorologists help people in different professions. That's how? And with what?
“It’s either rain or snow, either it will happen or it won’t!”
"After the rain on Thursday!"
Every now and then a bag of jokes spills onto the heads of weather forecasters - meteorologists.
Meteorology... “Meteora” is in Greek “atmospheric celestial phenomenon”, “logos” is “teaching”. And all together - “the science of the earth’s atmosphere, its structure, properties and phenomena occurring in it.”
There are thousands of weather scout posts scattered around the world. There are weather stations everywhere: on land and at sea, in the Pamir Mountains and the Sahara Desert, in the ice of the North Pole and in the vastness of Antarctica. Meteorologists monitor the weather in any weather. They have an anemometer, weather vane, barometer, and moisture meter in their service. They determine temperature with thermometers and thermographs, and air humidity with a barometer. An anemometer - wind speed and strength, a rain gauge - the amount of precipitation.
From time to time meteorologists send skyward Balloons. Equipped with a radio transmitter and all kinds of measuring instruments, heavenly messengers report via radio what the weather is like at an altitude of 20-30, or even 300 kilometers from the earth. Meteorological satellites of the Earth send from above photographs of clouds enveloping our planet.
Reports from a large army of scouts come to weather headquarters, the Institute of Forecasts. Here scientists compile a synoptic map (“weather forecaster” - “joint observer”).
Meteorologists study this map, compare information, take into account the movements of warm and cold air masses, computer programs make complex calculations and then give a weather forecast.
Meteorologists warn farmers about possible frosts, dry winds and hail (take care of the harvest!), sailors about the approaching storm (quickly take shelter!), pilots about poor visibility, the possibility of icing on the plane, about thunderstorms (fly away from the thundercloud!), railway workers about in blizzards (the path wouldn’t skid!) Each of us, having connected the weather forecast on our phone, knows whether to take an umbrella or not, and what to wear!
Previously, meteorologists only knew how to predict the weather, now they know how to change it: with the help of airplanes and rockets they disperse thunderclouds.
The tasks that meteorologists solve are very diverse. Specialists work in the field of designing new devices, and participate in expeditions, working with the most complex instruments.
A person who has dedicated his life to such a difficult task must be very accurate when collecting information and observant when analyzing weather conditions.
Making forecasts requires the development of memory and creative imagination, and the ability to work on a computer. Must be remembered conventional signs, symbols to depict them on special maps, and then translate them in the mind into visual pictures so that a “portrait” of the weather appears and it is clear how it will change over certain periods of time.
When working at drifting stations in the Arctic, on weather ships, and in high mountain areas, a meteorologist needs endurance and the ability to overcome difficulties.
When you finish school, maybe one of you will decide to devote yourself to this work. Technical schools and institutes train meteorological specialists.
To conclude our conversation, draw how you imagine the weather station of the future.
A meteorologist is a weather specialist, observer and researcher of atmospheric phenomena.
Meteorologist- weather specialist, observer and researcher of atmospheric phenomena. The profession is suitable for those who are interested in physics, mathematics and geography (see choosing a profession based on interest in school subjects).
Features of the profession
Meteorology is the science of the earth's atmosphere and the phenomena occurring in it. In many countries, meteorology is called atmospheric physics, which is more consistent with its current meaning.
Meteorologists observe natural phenomena, analyze them and make forecasts. Behind different levels Information processing is carried out by different specialists: a meteorologist and a meteorologist-forecaster.
Meteorologist (from Greek. meteoros, atmospheric and celestial phenomena) is engaged in weather observations, collecting instrument data. Conducts primary analysis of the received data.
Weather observations are carried out at weather stations, which can be located either within the city or at a very great distance from housing.
Forecasters carry out further analysis of atmospheric phenomena and make forecasts.
Forecaster (from Greek. syoptikos- observing everything together) is a meteorologist specializing in analysis atmospheric processes and predictions of future weather conditions. If meteorologists are engaged in observation and primary analysis, then the main task of weather forecasters is making forecasts. The most important element The work of a weather forecaster is a synoptic map (currently mainly in electronic form), that is geographic map, which reflects the weather condition for a relatively large territory, which allows you to view the weather simultaneously over a large area.
