He is also a key meteorologist on the Discovery Channel's Storm Chasers series. Josh Wurman, is a researcher in meteorology, for instance as a lead scientist of the VORTEX2 project.The highest award of the American Meteorological Society, of which Rossby was also a recipient in 1953, is named after him ( Carl-Gustaf Rossby Research Medal). Rossby was featured on the cover of Time magazine on December 17, 1956, for his contributions to the field. Carl-Gustaf Rossby, was a Swedish meteorologist foremost known for identifying and characterizing the waves seen in jet streams as well as in the westerlies in the earth's atmosphere, known as Rossby waves, or planetary waves.James Stagg, RAF meteorologist who was responsible for three teams of meteorologists predicting a lull for June 6, 1944, which allowed the landings in Normandy.Sverre Petterssen, member of the Norwegian School of Meteorology and later one of the three team leaders of James Stagg for the Normandy landings.George Hadley, first to introduce the effect of the rotation of the Earth in the explanation of the trade winds and atmospheric circulation.He linked the latter to the Southern Oscillation.

Jacob Bjerknes, son of the former, who attended the Norwegian school and who studied the El NiГ±o phenomenon.

Vilhelm Bjerknes, founder of modern meteorology who created the Bergen School of Meteorology, where researchers defined the frontal theory and cyclogenesis of mid-latitudes storms.Francis Beaufort, inventor of the wind scale that bears his name.

In some countries there is a third way for weather presenters, such as in United States, where a graduate in meteorology and communication at the college or university level can be hired by media. In United States, forecasters are hired by the National Weather Service or private firms after university, and receive on-the-job training, while researchers are hired according to their expertise. For example, the Meteorological Service of Canada and UK Met Office have their own training course after the university, while MГ©tГ©o-France takes charge of all the training once the person has passed the entrance examination at the National School of Meteorology after high school. For researchers, this training continues with higher education, while for forecasters, each country has its own way of training. To become a meteorologist, a person must take at least one undergraduate university degree in meteorology. In 1894, a group of US Weather Bureau forecasters at work They finally can be weather presenters in the media (radio, TV, internet). Meteorologists can also be consultants for private firms in studies for projects involving weather phenomena such as windfarms, tornado protection, etc.

Collaborate with the researchers for integrating science and technology into the forecast process, in particular for indices and model outputs, for weather-dependent users such as farming, forestry, aviation, maritime shipping and fisheries, etc.

Provide weather advice and guidance to private or governmental users.

Analyze data and numerical weather prediction model outputs to prepare daily weather forecasts.

Collect weather data in some country, but it is mostly done by technicians elsewhere.

Operational meteorologists, also known as forecasters:

The modeling of the atmosphere and the development of numerical weather prediction.

Atmospheric convection to refine knowledge of the structure and forces involved in tropical cyclones, thunderstorms and mid-latitude storms.

Air quality where they are interested in the phenomena of transport, transformation and dispersion of atmospheric pollutants and may be called upon to design scenarios for the reduction of polluting emissions.

Climatology to estimate the various components of the climate and their variability to determine, for example, the wind potential of a given region or global warming.

Research meteorologists are specialized in areas like: Operational meteorologist at the US Storm Prediction Center, 2006
