aerographer
Charts atmospheric conditions
An aerographer is a person who studies or describes the atmosphere, particularly its physical properties and phenomena.
In U.S.
Navy usage, an aerographer's mate is an enlisted rating specializing in meteorology and oceanography—collecting weather data, preparing forecasts, and briefing personnel on atmospheric conditions affecting operations.
