The New Zealand Meteorological Service offers opportunity to participate in research and development in the atmospheric sciences. Graduates are also employed in forecasting.
Subjects of research include satellite meteorology, radar meteorology, mlcrometeorology and ozone studies. In satellite meteorology, for instance, photographic and infra-red radiation observations from meteorological satellites are used to investigate the structure of weather systems and study the heat balance of the earthatmosphere system.
Post-graduate study in meteorology is encouraged and opportunity is given for overseas study under the sponsorship of the Meteorological Service.
