Meteorologists≠Weather reporters



What is the difference between meteorologists and weather reports? It is a weather forecaster whom we often see on television. And it is the meteorologist who is mainly being studied at the laboratory.
What kind of work are they mainly doing?

Meteorologists
 There are three styles roughly divided into research of the weather.
[Observation]
  The weather high up in the sky is investigated by lifting balloons (Serious, when it will do repeatedly on a day).  A radar is installed and operated and data is collected (Since it breaks down well, correspondence is serious). It rides and samples on an airplane (Since it is a light plane, they are fearful). An observation machine is shouldered on the top of a mountain, and data is taken (Physical strength match). If it even installs by digitizing almost all data unlike ancient times, it can measure automatically in many cases. However, the part data becomes huge and the analysis using computers (personal computer) is needed.
[Experiment]
 There are the laboratory experiment in a low-temperature chamber, a chemical analysis, etc. Since it is occasionally called -50, if the environment of a laboratory goes in and out repeatedly, it may ruin health.
[Simulation]
 Computer simulation which investigates how for atmospheric movement and rain to fall. Seemingly, also in many months and this case, it is in discovering one mistake.

Moreover, people who are inquiring have some classes.
[Graduate student]
 They are being devoted to research during a day. The graduate student is actually bearing the great portion of result of research of Japan. However, since it is unpaid mostly, it is forced an extreme poverty life.
[The teacher of a university]
 The production of data for taking a budget, attendance to various study groups, a student's lesson and instruction, intramural office work, the coordination of a study group, etc. So, it is said that it is serious to work out research time. There are some teachers who lead and study a graduate student's instruction indirectly.
[The personnel of a research institute]
 The weather is studied in the Meteorological Research Institute, National Institute for Environmental Studies, etc. They can secure as many miscellaneous business research time as the teacher of a university. However, the subject of research which a subject setup had little flexibility compared with the university, and was decided by the policy of the country will be performed.
[Private enterprises]
 There is also a company which is doing the research and development of the original weather forecasting model. However, since it is a company, the result which is useful immediately is called for.

It is such touch generally. Only by the weather, an area of research does not necessarily differ from the scholar of other geophysics fields so much.

Weather reporters
 A certificated weather forecaster system is a system introduced by revision of the Meteorological Service Standards from the Heisei 6 fiscal year. This system is founded for the purpose of securing the engineer who can use appropriately the advanced prediction data of the numerical weather prediction data etc. which are offered from the Meteorological Agency so that disaster prevention information and the weather bulletin which has a close relation may not cause society confusion by being passed unsuitably. A duty of making a phenomenon expect to a certificated weather forecaster is imposed upon the entrepreneur who performs outlook service. It is required to pass the certificated weather forecaster examination which Meteorological Business Support Center carries out, in order to become a certificated weather forecaster, and to obtain Director-General's of the Meteorological Agency registration.
 Probably, you know Takeshi Amatatsu, Yoshizumi Ishihara and so on. They are weather reporters.
