Atmospheric Scientists

Significant Points

  • About 34 percent of atmospheric scientists are employed by the Federal Government; most of these work in the National Weather Service.
  • A bachelor's degree in meteorology, or in a closely related field with courses in meteorology, is the minimum educational requirement; a master's degree is necessary for some positions, and a Ph.D. degree is required for most basic research positions.
  • Keen competition is expected for jobs; those with graduate degrees should enjoy better prospects than those with only a bachelor�s degree.
