What are the meteorological and related majors?

undergraduate majors in meteorology and related majors mainly include atmospheric science, applied meteorology, lightning protection science and technology, and atmospheric exploration.

1. Atmospheric science is a subject that studies various phenomena of the atmosphere (including the influence of human activities on it), the evolution laws of these phenomena, and how to use these laws to serve mankind. Atmospheric science is an integral part of earth science. The branches of atmospheric science mainly include atmospheric sounding, climatology, meteorology, dynamic meteorology, atmospheric physics, atmospheric chemistry, weather modification and applied meteorology.

2. Applied meteorology is a marginal discipline formed by applying the principles, methods and achievements of meteorology to agriculture, hydrology, navigation, aviation, military affairs and medical treatment, and combining with various professional disciplines. The major of applied meteorology is an important part of atmospheric science research and serving the national economic construction. Our country attaches great importance to this field, and many universities have applied meteorology majors. The World Meteorological Organization requires countries to hold celebrations in various ways on this day to publicize the role of meteorology in national economy and national defense construction, and selects a theme for Meteorological Day every year, calling on member countries to carry out publicity activities in various ways. The choice of theme basically revolves around the content of meteorological work, main scientific research projects and issues of universal concern to all countries in the world. The main purpose of holding World Meteorological Day activities is to make people of all countries understand and support the activities of the World Meteorological Organization, mainly to arouse people's attention and love for meteorological work and to promote the application of meteorology in aviation, navigation, water conservancy, agriculture and other human activities. After graduation, students majoring in applied meteorology mainly work in some meteorological departments such as provinces, prefectures and counties under China Meteorological Bureau, especially in meteorological stations. The other is to the meteorological station of the civil aviation system; Then go to work in the army, especially the air force. You can also go to the environmental protection department and related power departments for employment and so on. Although the employment scope of this major is not very wide, there are few graduates because there are few such majors in universities in China at present. According to the quantitative analysis of supply and demand in the talent market and the importance attached by the state to such issues, the employment prospects of graduates are good. At present, there are undergraduate courses in applied meteorology in China: Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology, Nanjing University, Sun Yat-sen University, China Agricultural University, Lanzhou University, Shenyang Agricultural University, etc. The degree awarded is a Bachelor of Science degree. The academic system is four years. The following is a brief introduction to the applied meteorology majors offered by various colleges and universities.

3. Lightning protection science and technology have penetrated into various industries such as electric power, communication, electronics, computer, civil construction, etc. This major requires students to have basic theories, knowledge and skills in lightning protection, civil engineering, electronic technology and information systems, and be engaged in the research, design, application and development of electronic equipment and information systems, lightning protection technology development and application, lightning protection engineering design, scheme review, construction and so on.

4. Atmospheric detection refers to the direct or indirect detection of atmospheric physical and chemical characteristics with various instruments and equipment.
