weatherwiz Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 2 minutes ago, WxBlue said: We did learn this stuff at UNC Asheville my senior year, but we also spent more time calculating frontogenesis, temperature gradient, convergence, etc than applying them. Met schools taught us to be atmospheric scientists, not weather forecasters. Yep. We did alot of application in Weather Analysis and Forecasting which was actually a ton of fun. What I wish we kinda did was actually apply them to real-time model data instead of just a given example with numbers. Like it would be fun to look at a 500mb vorticity chart, and then have some data to work with and spit out some calculations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta say this surprised me after watching TWC for years growing up thinking that's what meteorology was about. Boy was I wrong since I was thinking it would be a couple years of the prerequisites, then snowstorm classes for the back half of undergrad.

That's why I think it makes sense to keep your hobbies as hobbies and get a career in something you tolerate but for which you don't have a lifelong passion that you'd prefer to not extinguish...

The math alone kept me away Still brutal, but I think right after I graduated they started to implement more forecasting classes and less hardcore dynamics/physics classes. My class took the full brunt of it. 1 minute ago, snowman21 said: Gotta say this surprised me after watching TWC for years growing up thinking that's what meteorology was about.

Possible...but he was hitting the winds on TWC. And that it was moving along good. But maybe that’s the difference? Was just interesting...that they said opposite things on two different points. im of course with RYAN for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did that with an ancient weather program known as GARP using big mid-latitude cyclones from last year. It was a weekly group project (with partners rotating) where one person pick out an active storm and do bunch of calculation to determine if the cyclone is undergoing cyclogenesis or cyclolysis using several terms of quasi geostrophic vorticity equations. Now I'm having bad flashbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Well, we don’t have true overunning or a prolonged waa with this. lots of mood flakes early Wed. Then it is mostly ccb with a some waa and wrap around DIT snows depending on location. Kinda like Feb 13 in that regards. So, southern areas will see 8-12hrs of good accumulating stuff with 4-6 hours on both ends. If gfs is correct everyone sees flakes for days, maybe weeks.

MarkO Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 What does one need to become a professional met? I ask this because what UML prepared me for was passing the EIT (about 85%) and maybe 15% on practical real world engineering. (After passing the EIT, we needed 5 years of practical experience in engineering and passing of the PE exam). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
