| bachelor's degree in atmospheric science: Earth Science and Applications from Space National Research Council, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, Space Studies Board, Committee on Earth Science and Applications from Space: A Community Assessment and Strategy for the Future, 2007-10-01 Natural and human-induced changes in Earth's interior, land surface, biosphere, atmosphere, and oceans affect all aspects of life. Understanding these changes requires a range of observations acquired from land-, sea-, air-, and space-based platforms. To assist NASA, NOAA, and USGS in developing these tools, the NRC was asked to carry out a decadal strategy survey of Earth science and applications from space that would develop the key scientific questions on which to focus Earth and environmental observations in the period 2005-2015 and beyond, and present a prioritized list of space programs, missions, and supporting activities to address these questions. This report presents a vision for the Earth science program; an analysis of the existing Earth Observing System and recommendations to help restore its capabilities; an assessment of and recommendations for new observations and missions for the next decade; an examination of and recommendations for effective application of those observations; and an analysis of how best to sustain that observation and applications system. |
| bachelor's degree in atmospheric science: Careers in Meteorology and Atmospheric Science Institute for Career Research, 2015-08-01 METEOROLOGY IS THE STUDY OF THE atmospheric conditions that cause weather on earth. Most of these conditions occur in the troposphere, the layer of the atmosphere closest to the earth. Meteorologists can predict future weather conditions by studying patterns in temperature, air pressure, and water vapor. The media, private sector companies, and government agencies use these predictions to manage air and ocean traffic, predict crop yield, budget water, and in many other important ways. Weather is everywhere and so are meteorologists. These professionals can be found all over the world doing all sorts of interesting things. Some study the ozone layer and look for ways to prevent air pollution or global climate change. Some monitor rainfall and issue flash flood warnings, or fly in specialized aircraft to investigate hurricanes. Most work for government agencies, such as the National Weather Service, providing vital information to the public as well as the aviation, marine, and fire control communities. Beyond the government, the fastest growing area for meteorologists is private forecasting. Private forecasters serve clients with very specific needs for highly specialized forecasts. For example, they might work for commodities traders who want to know how the weather will affect future crop production and prices. They might keep utility companies informed about impending hot or cold weather that will put heavy demands on generating plants and transmission systems. Weather forecasting is at the heart of meteorology. The weather forecast that you get in your hometown is the end product of a worldwide effort by thousands of meteorologists in many nations. All those meteorologists use tools such as Doppler radar, satellites, and instruments that take precise atmospheric measurements to follow and analyze the huge systems that will eventually bring us our local weather. To be eligible for most entry-level jobs as a meteorologist, you will need to have at least a bachelor's degree in meteorology or a related field. Along with the degree, you will need some experience pertaining to meteorology and related disciplines, such as thermodynamics, climatology, and even statistics and chemistry. Most people get that experience through student training programs and internships. Some are fortunate enough to find employers that offer on-the-job training either in-house or in the field. Aspiring meteorologists can expect favorable job prospects, especially in private industry. The federal government will still be the largest single employer, with particular emphasis on research related to global climate change. Considering the economic impact of weather - an estimated $3 trillion a year - it is not surprising that the fastest job growth will be in private industry. The opportunities for weather broadcasters are limited and highly competitive. Meteorology is a good choice for anyone with a passion for weather events, a head for math and science, and a desire to do work that benefits others. It is routinely ranked among the best jobs in America because it offers job security, little stress, plenty of employment options, and excellent compensation. There are numerous rewards for anyone with the sound knowledge of meteorology and the ability to use it in atmospheric research or applied meteorology. This new Careers Ebook contains a wealth of unbiased information about an occupational field, based on the latest national surveys. Careers Ebooks cover attractive and unattractive sides, opportunities, education necessary, personal qualifications required, earnings, descriptions of different job specialties, first person accounts by those in the field, and how to get started; including practical advice on what to do now. There are live links to schools and colleges, associations, periodicals and other sources of reliable information. |

| bachelor's degree in atmospheric science: Introduction to Atmospheric Chemistry Daniel J. Jacob, 1999 Atmospheric chemistry is one of the fastest growing fields in the earth sciences. Until now, however, there has been no book designed to help students capture the essence of the subject in a brief course of study. Daniel Jacob, a leading researcher and teacher in the field, addresses that problem by presenting the first textbook on atmospheric chemistry for a one-semester course. Based on the approach he developed in his class at Harvard, Jacob introduces students in clear and concise chapters to the fundamentals as well as the latest ideas and findings in the field. Jacob's aim is to show students how to use basic principles of physics and chemistry to describe a complex system such as the atmosphere. He also seeks to give students an overview of the current state of research and the work that led to this point. Jacob begins with atmospheric structure, design of simple models, atmospheric transport, and the continuity equation, and continues with geochemical cycles, the greenhouse effect, aerosols, stratospheric ozone, the oxidizing power of the atmosphere, smog, and acid rain. Each chapter concludes with a problem set based on recent scientific literature. This is a novel approach to problem-set writing, and one that successfully introduces students to the prevailing issues. This is a major contribution to a growing area of study and will be welcomed enthusiastically by students and teachers alike. |

| bachelor's degree in atmospheric science: Beyond Global Warming Syukuro Manabe, Anthony J. Broccoli, 2020-01-14 Syukuro Manabe is perhaps the leading pioneer of modern climate modeling. Beyond Global Warming is his compelling firsthand account of how the scientific community came to understand the human causes of climate change, and how numerical models using the world's most powerful computers have been instrumental to these vital discoveries. Joined here by atmospheric scientist Anthony Broccoli, Manabe shows how climate models have been used as virtual laboratories for examining the complex planetary interactions of atmosphere, ocean, and land. Manabe and Broccoli use these studies as the basis for a broader discussion of human-induced global warming--and what the future may hold for a warming planet. They tell the stories of early trailblazers such as Svante Arrhenius, the legendary Swedish scientist who created the first climate model of Earth more than a century ago, and provide rare insights into Manabe's own groundbreaking work over the past five decades. Expertly walking readers through key breakthroughs, they explain why increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide has caused temperatures to rise in the troposphere yet fall in the stratosphere, why the warming of the planet's surface differs by hemisphere, why drought is becoming more frequent in arid regions despite the global increase in precipitation, and much more. |
| bachelor's degree in atmospheric science: Attribution of Extreme Weather Events in the Context of Climate Change National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Division on Earth and Life Studies, Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, Committee on Extreme Weather Events and Climate Change Attribution, 2016-07-28 As climate has warmed over recent years, a new pattern of more frequent and more intense weather events has unfolded across the globe. Climate models simulate such changes in extreme events, and some of the reasons for the changes are well understood. Warming increases the likelihood of extremely hot days and nights, favors increased atmospheric moisture that may result in more frequent heavy rainfall and snowfall, and leads to evaporation that can exacerbate droughts. Even with evidence of these broad trends, scientists cautioned in the past that individual weather events couldn't be attributed to climate change. Now, with advances in understanding the climate science behind extreme events and the science of extreme event attribution, such blanket statements may not be accurate. The relatively young science of extreme event attribution seeks to tease out the influence of human-cause climate change from other factors, such as natural sources of variability like El Niño, as contributors to individual extreme events. Event attribution can answer questions about how much climate change influenced the probability or intensity of a specific type of weather event. As event attribution capabilities improve, they could help inform choices about assessing and managing risk, and in guiding climate adaptation strategies. This report examines the current state of science of extreme weather attribution, and identifies ways to move the science forward to improve attribution capabilities. |

| bachelor's degree in atmospheric science: Renewable Energy Forecasting Georges Kariniotakis, 2017-09-29 Renewable Energy Forecasting: From Models to Applications provides an overview of the state-of-the-art of renewable energy forecasting technology and its applications. After an introduction to the principles of meteorology and renewable energy generation, groups of chapters address forecasting models, very short-term forecasting, forecasting of extremes, and longer term forecasting. The final part of the book focuses on important applications of forecasting for power system management and in energy markets. Due to shrinking fossil fuel reserves and concerns about climate change, renewable energy holds an increasing share of the energy mix. Solar, wind, wave, and hydro energy are dependent on highly variable weather conditions, so their increased penetration will lead to strong fluctuations in the power injected into the electricity grid, which needs to be managed. Reliable, high quality forecasts of renewable power generation are therefore essential for the smooth integration of large amounts of solar, wind, wave, and hydropower into the grid as well as for the profitability and effectiveness of such renewable energy projects. - Offers comprehensive coverage of wind, solar, wave, and hydropower forecasting in one convenient volume - Addresses a topic that is growing in importance, given the increasing penetration of renewable energy in many countries - Reviews state-of-the-science techniques for renewable energy forecasting - Contains chapters on operational applications |
