Meteorology

The Meteorological Service of the Department of Civil Aviation 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, micrometeorology, and ozone studies. In satellite meteorology, for instance, photographic and infrared radiation observations from Tiros satellites are used to investigate the structure of weather systems and study the heat balance of the earth-atmosphere system.
