A scientist who studies the atmosphere is known as a meteorologist. Meteorologists focus on understanding weather patterns, atmospheric phenomena, and climate dynamics. They utilize various tools, including satellites and weather radar, to observe and predict weather conditions. Meteorologists play a critical role in providing forecasts that inform public safety and contribute to various sectors, such as agriculture and disaster management. Their work can also include research on climate change, air quality, and the effects of natural disasters on the atmosphere, contributing to our understanding of the Earth's climate system.
