A Climatology concentration provides a strong preparation for graduate work with a specialization in climatology and mathematics. The National Climatic Data Center, located in Asheville, represents a unique resource for students. In the Weather Forecasting concentration, students learn the basics of weather analysis and forecasting and how to communicate meteorological information to the public. McIDAS, DIFAX, National Lightning Detection Network and LDM are utilized in courses with a lab component. Students are encouraged to focus their career objectives through enrollment in cooperative education and internship courses. This concentration is designed to prepare a student for advanced work in Atmospheric Science with an emphasis on Climatology.

    Extractions: Students who major in atmospheric sciences and meteorology study the basic principles of atmospheric physics and dynamics and are concerned with understanding and forecasting our weather. What the Major is Like The major in atmospheric sciences and meteorology prepares students for careers in weather forecasting and also for graduate study of weather and climate. In many ways the major often called meteorology is a specialization of physics, and advanced mathematics is a basic tool in its study. Before beginning the formal meteorology program, therefore, students take elementary calculus and analytic geometry in the freshman and sophomore years and calculus-based physics in the sophomore year. Later, advanced calculus, linear algebra, or both are required. Meteorology course work usually begins in the junior year, although some institutions offer introductory courses to sophomores. The formal meteorology program consists of three parts. The first part is physical meteorology: atmospheric thermodynamics (conservation of energy within a mixture of air and water), radiation (light from the sun or infrared radiation emitted by the earth), cloud physics (condensation and freezing of water and precipitation formation), and atmospheric stability (tendencies of warm air to rise and cold air to fall). The second part is dynamic meteorology (the study of air motions). Here the laws of conservation of energy and momentum are combined to form a complete, generalized mathematical description of the weather. These concepts are then used to explain the weather's structure and behavior.

51. FORECASTING MISCONCEPTIONS
    can you get a Bachelor of ARTS in meteorology? are artistic talents that apply toforecasting (1) Weather that are understandable to the general public (3  
    http://www.theweatherprediction.com/philosophy/conception/
    
    Extractions: Many students have a conception that forecasting is a subject that is learned and mastered perfectly. The student may believe they will be taught an "exact" method of forecasting. After learning this "method" they will be able to produce wonderful forecasts. This however is not the case due to the fact that weather is CONSTANTLY changing and there is a high degree of uncertainty in all weather data. Each weather situation requires a slightly and sometimes drastically different set of forecasting methods. The developed forecasting method is unique to each individual. The more one learns about the atmosphere, the more one realizes there is even more to learn. This statement can be applied to any subject area and to life in general. Knowledge is infinite. The public may not understand how complex the atmosphere really is. It is a miracle the forecast models do as well as they do. Of course, the more one knows about the atmosphere and practices forecasting the better they will become at forecasting. Forecasting the weather will never be an exact science. Even a student with a meteorology degree may not know how to forecast. The meteorologist must have skills in weather pattern recognition, skills at deciphering interactions of many variables (3-D view of atmosphere), have an almost instant interpretation of model and analysis charts and a strong WILL to learn from forecast failures. A strong will is a powerful asset.

    Extractions: Adapted to the World Wide Web from a file on the University of Michigan Gopher. Another adaptation was done on a file describing techniques for making weather observations at the schools so the students can contribute their own observations to the online database. Weather forecasting is a science and an art. To make a good forecast you must know some meteorology and have a hunch what is going to happen based on experience. Forecasting temperature and precipitation will be discussed here since they are the most relevant parameters to the public. Before attempting to perform a weather forecast, one should understand a few key concepts in atmospheric science. These concepts include: Synoptic scale (large scale) meteorology: Air masses, fronts, and pressure systems. Mesoscale (local scale) meteorology: Effects of topography, bodies of water, the urban heat island, etc. Vertical structure of the atmosphere: How and why pressure, temperature, and density decrease with altitude. The following discussion will assume the reader is familiar with these concepts.
