Professional profile
Category: Neo-Confucianism; Educational system: four years; Elective subjects: physics; Subject: atmospheric science; Degree: Science.
Atmospheric science mainly studies various atmospheric phenomena and their evolution laws, and the influence of human activities on the atmosphere. The research object covers the whole earth's atmosphere, daily weather forecast, meteorological monitoring, and artificial intervention and adjustment against adverse weather (such as rainstorm, blizzard and sandstorm). It has a great influence on human life.
Focus on registration
What's your major?
Core courses: synoptic meteorology, dynamic meteorology, satellite meteorology, boundary layer meteorology, applied meteorology, atmospheric electricity, atmospheric physics, atmospheric chemistry and atmospheric science progress. The courses of atmospheric science are mainly meteorological series courses. In addition, we should combine specific research scenarios and apply professional knowledge such as physics, chemistry, electromagnetism and geography to related research.
Career prospects
Government and institutions: weather forecast, regional environmental monitoring, meteorological assessment, satellite monitoring, etc.
Aerospace enterprises: meteorological observation, engineering technology, etc.
How about employment?
The employment prospect of atmospheric science undergraduate is quite good. Graduates are suitable for teaching, scientific research and related business and management in meteorological, aviation, aerospace, marine, environmental, water conservancy and other business departments or universities and scientific research units.
Nowadays, the role of climate prediction and regional environmental monitoring is becoming more and more important, and atmospheric science is of greater significance to protecting people's lives and property. Graduates are suitable for teaching, scientific research and related business and management in meteorological, aviation, aerospace, marine, environmental, water conservancy and other business departments or universities and scientific research units.
Which students are suitable for reporting?
1 Physics (science) candidates can apply for the exam. If the selected subject includes geography, it will be more suitable for studying atmospheric science. In the past, although atmospheric science was closely related to geography, only science candidates were recruited when enrolling students. After the new college entrance examination reform, the requirements of atmospheric science for elective subjects are usually physics/matter or earth/matter and several kinds. Candidates who take the geography exam have a certain discipline foundation and have an advantage in the introductory stage.
② Suitable for students who want to engage in meteorological work.
Meteorological direction is a narrow employment direction, so the employment of atmospheric science graduates is mostly "specially needed by people".
