What is a meteorologist job describtion?

Answer 1

One of the tasks of being a meteorologist is investigating the atmosphere to make accurate predictions on the weather. Forecasts tend to be more accurate when they're only predicting 12 hours to a couple days into the future.

Another responsibility is to give the first warning to a severe events such as a tornado. When meteorologists get word that a funnel cloud has been sighted or has been sighted by radar, the NWS (National Weather Service) needs to issue a tornado warning. On the news, their job is to get that tornado warning out to the people, while emergency management activates the tornado sirens within and around the warning. It is also just as important to give the all-clear as it is to give the first warning.

Meteorologists in general help the public plan ahead, when a tornado watch is issued an area, that would be a good time for people within and around the watch area to review their tornado safety plan, when a tornado warning is issued, it is time to put that tornado safety plan into action. Most of the time, the meteorologist that is on TV will go over the safety plan for that severe event. For example, for a tornado warning, the meteorologists will tell you to get below ground by going into a basement. If you don't have a basement, go to the most interior part of your home, like closets or bathrooms, you need to put as many walls between you and the outside walls of your home as possible.

The TV isn't the only way to receive weather alerts, you can also receive weather alerts on your phone, radio, or weather radio. All of them will tell you what to do in a particular situation.

Outlooks are issued days in advance, a watch is issued hours in advance, and a warning is issued minutes in advance. So you could look at it like this:

Outlook - Ready...

Watch - Set...

Warning - Go!
