  - teach their subject at universities
  - use radars to detect precipitation, especially rain
  - work for radio and television stations
* are curious about Earth's atmosphere, and why it behaves the way it does
  - scientists who study and forecast the weather

* call the changes of temperature with height the temperature gradient
  - difference between the total and geostrophic winds ageostrophic winds
* can and do review historic data and study past storm trends
  - find themselves working for a wide variety of industries
  - track and forecast the movement of a thunderstorm
* compare deficiencies in precipitation to normal levels when they speak of drought.
* define several stages in the evolution of a storm system.
* describe the wind direction as the direction from which the wind is blowing.
* develop methods
  - new tools for forecasting weather
* divide California into three different parts.
* do jobs
  - many different jobs
* employ images from satellites to help forecast the weather.
* explain HOW clouds form, and biologists explain HOW species form.
* follow paths.
* gather information on Earth's atmosphere.
* get information from weather balloons, satellites, and weather stations.
* have information
  - many different terms for warning people of what is on the way
  - names for different kinds of clouds
  - special devices to measure the humidity , such as hygrometers
  - the capability to predict rather accurately the path of a hurricane
* includes arms
  - body substances
  - cell membranes
  - cells
  - corpi
  - cytoplasm
  - heads
  - human bodies
  - legs
  - material bodies
  - necks
  - nuclei
  - personality
  - plasma membranes
  - sections
  - vacuoles
* involved in weather forecasting sometimes work evenings, weekends, or holidays.
* know that heat creates instability, and instability rules Tropical weather
  - warm ocean temperatures fuel hurricanes
* look to better technology to forecast weather patterns, thereby reducing loss.
* make measurements of the properties of the atmosphere at various locales
* measure temperature differences at every level of the atmosphere
* monitor atmospheric conditions by sending up weather balloons
  - the extent and severity of drought in terms of rainfall deficiencies
* observe the weather when they're making a forecast.
* observing tornado damage use it to estimate tornado winds.
* often refer to it as cooling episodes, and sometimes it can last for years.
* often use the dewpoint as a measure of atmospheric moisture
* plot isobaric patterns on synoptic charts.
* possess knowledge
  - specific knowledge
* predict more rainfall in upcoming days
  - weather by tracking the movement of air masses and associated fronts
* produce lists of names for the ten major hurricane producing ocean basins.
* provide information.
* record the weather every day.
* refer to it as wind shear
  - vertical motions as convective
* rely mainly on two types of satellites.
* rely on weather images from space
  - radar to provide information on developing storms
* routinely triangulate their domains to perform weather analysis.
* say that vertical sheer is required for the formation of propagating thunderstorms
  - warm air is buoyant
* seek opportunity.
* stress that our atmosphere, weather and climate are extraordinarily complex.
  - such phenomena
* study the atmosphere and atmospheric phenomena, including the weather
  - weather by recording and analyzing data
* study weather conditions and prepare current and long range weather forecasts
* track hurricanes from the time they form to the time they no are no longer a threat
  - using satellites
* try to predict the weather.
* understand conditions
  - necessary conditions
* use a barometer to determine the changes in air pressure to forecast the weather
  - measure air pressure
  - man-made instrument, an anemometer, to measure wind speed
  - metric unit for pressure called a millibar
  - scientific tool or instrument called a barometer
  - wide range of information and techniques to formulate weather forecasts
  - advanced computer and satellite technology to get instant weather reports
  - all types of computers and special devices to predict the weather
  - barometers to predict short-term changes in the weather
  - cloud reflection to track clouds, determine cloud type, and even predict rain
  - computer models to more accurately predict the course of killer hurricanes
  - infrared images to determine the temperature in the atmosphere
  - instruments especially made to measure barometric pressure
* use many different tools to learn about the weather in the world
  - instruments to collect weather data
  - modern instruments to forecast the weather
  - tools in weather forecasting
  - radar to track storms
  - supercomputers to predict, plot, and study storms
  - the location of some of the jet streams as an aid in weather forecasting
  - weather satellites for many things, and they rely on images from satellites
* usually specialize in one area
  - type of work
* work at stations
