Meteorologists generally work for media organizations, federal agencies and private businesses, researching and predicting weather patterns. Meteorologists use various weather tools and data from several sources, including satellites, weather maps, radars and weather stations. The data helps them predict short-term weather changes. Some Meteorologists work for the National Weather Service to help predict weather patterns and share information with the public and other agencies. Media organizations may also employ Meteorologists to develop weather forecasts for their stations. Private-sector companies hire Meteorologists to research how the weather might impact their business or how they can minimize losses due to weather.
