Climatologist who monitors and studies the climate and the factors that control its variability. A climatologist may produce climate assessments and forecasts of seasonal conditions, or contribute to national and international assessments of climate variability and climate change.
Cimatlologists are often confused with meteorologists. A Meteorologist studies current weather conditions and makes short-term forecasts about the weather, including the temperature, winds, amount and type of precipitation. A climatologist studies long term trends in the climate. The climate that you live in depends on your geographic location and altitude. It includes all of the average weather conditions that you experience on an ongoing basis. The climate detetermines the types of plants and animals that can inhabit a particular region. Climatology can actually be a lot more exciting than it sounds
Climatologists study changes in the climate and try to forecast major long-term changes. Long term changes in climate can affect energy usage, food production, survival of endangered species, and even health and life expectancy!
