Hi,
my name is Wyatt in i was just wondering if you could get a meteorology job with any thing below a bachelor's degree like a certificate in college?

Asked by wyatt over 9 years ago

Hi, Wyatt. It is possible if you can demonstrate a good knowledge of the subject but competition is pretty stiff for jobs so every bit of education helps. Good luck!

Asked by Kandy about 10 years ago

I would check with your local TV station or National Weather Service office.

What technology are helping to eliminate global warming?

How does cloud seeding work and what is the process for it

Asked by Juliana R over 8 years ago

Great question. All cloud drops form on a speck of something called a condensation nuclei, dust, smoke, sea salt, etc. The idea with seeding is to introduce these particles, often silver iodide, to encourage the water vapor in the air to condense into a cloud droplet and then merge with other drops to form rain. A lot of question as to if it works but there is enough evidence that people keep trying. Thanks!

Hello why does thunderstorms happen when the forecast doesn't say thunderstorms.?

Asked by Kim about 9 years ago

Hello, Kim. The forecast starts with weather balloons taking measurements of the atmosphere, but only a small portion, and only twice a day. Since the network of balloons is small there are usually things that go unseen and some of those things can help develop storms
