meteorologist
Climate forecast specialist
A meteorologist is a scientist who studies the atmosphere and weather.
The term most commonly refers to weather forecasters who predict conditions for the public: The meteorologist says rain is expected through Thursday.
Research meteorologists study climate patterns, storm systems, and atmospheric phenomena.
The field encompasses both the person explaining tomorrow's forecast and scientists tracking long-term climate change.
