Meteorology and climate studies are fields of study that focus on atmospheric phenomena and weather prediction. It makes an effort to research and track the various effects that the earth’s atmosphere, landmasses, and oceans have on the ecosystem. They are included in the category of atmospheric sciences together with atmospheric physics and chemistry. Studying climate studies and meteorology exposes students to a wide range of subjects including geography, meteorological equipment, environmental sciences, calculus and many others.

Students of climate studies and meteorology generate weather forecasts, examine climate change, and analyse data from weather stations and satellites. Additionally, they are able to research and keep track of other phenomena like temperature, humidity, rain, and wind. Climate studies and meteorology are necessary for a number of professions, including agriculture, the military, transportation, and energy production.

For students of climate studies and meteorology, employment opportunities are enormous. They include a wide range of rewarding careers in energy production, the military, and agriculture, forecasting the weather, research analyst and many other fields.
