What does a Meteorologist do? Watch Meteorologist Chelsea Andrews at Work

Smore Science

To create a forecast, I check current conditions, look at several different computer models, and use my knowledge of Central Texas weather patterns to determine what the temperatures, wind speeds, and rain chances will likely be for the next several days. That’s why I created the “Science in Sweatpants” series.

Understanding the atmosphere: What can atmospheric chemistry teach us about air pollution?

Futurum

The next generation of atmospheric chemists will be tasked with understanding these problems and discovering any potential solutions for their mitigation. Other areas of study include the interactions between aerosols and clouds, the long-range movements of pollution in the air and the ever-advancing field of computer modelling.
