General Industry & Career Information

Information on jobs and careers in meteorology is available from the American Meteorology Society and at Jobs in Atmospheric Science and Meteorology, which has a great list of career opportunity links, including those in private industry.

Just generally interested in weather? The National Weather Service is the source for weather-based information. And the University of Michigan has the ultimate link site, with access to over 380 North American weather sites, many of which are NWS sites.

Check out the National Weather Association's site for a list of great education links.

Weather World wants to become the Internet's premier site for weather information. Weather World contains all the latest weather data, including forecasts, images, and watches & warnings.

Assignment Weather: Report, Predict

The National Weather Service is the source for weather-based information.

More information on weather, anyone? From science to mathematics, this site provides a wealth of links of Geoscience Resources, including archived weather data.

Meteorology and Computer Math Charting Skills is a lesson on collecting weather data and entering it weekly onto a spreadsheet using the local newspaper as the source of information.

While the weather is considered a science, it’s still math-based. This incredibly comprehensive site from Study Web has a wide variety of weather/meteorological sites, many of which feature weather data and statistics.

This site from Scientific Computing Division features sources of weather data.

Need to refer to definitions of mean, median and mode? It’s right here for you at the Carleton University site.

Anyone who needs visual help with the concepts of mean, median and mode will find graphs illustrating the concepts at Statistics for Engineers.

Mean, Median and Mode Discussion” provides additional support for students who have difficulty with these concepts.

Don’t know mean from median? “Statistics Every Writer Should Know” has the help you need to get going and get on top

The Skymath National Weather Report Module, while based in science, also features a mathematical focus which includes displaying and making sense of numerical and graphical data, discerning patterns, and analysis of data sets with more than one variable. It also introduces some fundamental concepts of statistics. This site also includes a fabulous contour map which prints nicely

This is Weather Visualizer WW2010, from the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Illinois, UrbanaChampaign. "Now you have the opportunity to customize your own weather maps and images. By simply pointing and clicking, select which features you want to see on your own customized weather map."

Mathematics of Cartography (map making) are featured at this site.

Students unsure of their knowledge about contour maps can visit Current Surface Weather Maps to view current surface weather maps, all presented in contour maps.

Want to learn how to draw contour maps? These scanned images of the mapping instructions, not easy to read, but a good summary and helpful for students.

Dr. Dave Dempsey, Dept. of Geosciences at SFSU has more easily readable instructions on drawing and interpreting Contour Maps.

Twisters (Not A Game!)

Severe Weather” provides a guide for understanding the weather, with weather videos, terminology, and other helpful information.

The College of DuPage is one of the few in the country that offers credit for storm chasing. The people of NEXLAB keep a well-designed, easy to read web site that offers active information links for general weather and severe weather site.

Severe Weather Awareness Week” provides an opportunity to educate people on severe weather threats and safety precautions. This site offers timely help for all types of severe weather situations.

Miami University of Ohio maintains this site which features Environmental Links & Weather Home Base: Severe Weather, Hurricanes, Forecasting Models, Satellite Imagery, Maps and more. Each time you “load” this web site, a different weather map appears at the top of the page.


Snowed Under

Coldlinks is a site that has a huge number of links dealing with ice and snow.

Looking for snow? Check out the National Snow and Ice Data Center. Of special interest will be their "Snow on the Web" with a group of educational resources on snow, or Have Snow Shovel, Will Travel which includes information on how Ohio fared in the blizzard of 1996.

The Skymath National Weather Report Module, while based in science, also features a mathematical focus which includes displaying and making sense of numerical and graphical data, discerning patterns, and analysis of data sets with more than one variable.

Up Up and Away

Students seeking additional information on weather balloons will find a wealth of information at this site.

While this is a science site, not geared toward math, it’s still neat to find out about how things work. On this page, as you move your mouse/cursor over the altitude chart, you’ll see and learn how air pressure affects the shape of the balloon as it rises in the air.

Infoplease has a page description of what a weather balloon is and how it works.
