Introduction to the profession
Atmospheric science, like the vast universe, is deep and fascinating. There are three specializations in it, each with its own unique brilliance.
Majoring in atmospheric science, it is the cradle of scholars who study the atmosphere. Here, students delve into the various phenomena of the atmosphere and their evolution, as well as the impact of human activities on the atmosphere. This major is not only limited to theoretical knowledge, it pays more attention to practice and exploration, and strives to reveal the mysteries of the atmosphere and provide a strong guarantee for human life. For example, daily weather forecasting, meteorological monitoring, and intervention and adjustment of adverse weather conditions are inseparable from the contribution of the atmospheric science profession. The Department of Applied Meteorology is a bridge that combines the theory and practice of meteorology. Students in this major not only learn the basics of meteorology, but also master the methods of applying it to various fields. Whether it is agriculture, hydrology, navigation or aviation, military, medical and other fields, applied meteorology plays a vital role. It helps to solve practical problems in various fields, such as meteorology, earthquake prevention, flood mitigation, ecological environment regulation, climate resource development and utilization, etc., making our lives more convenient and safe. Meteorological Technology and Engineering, which is the embodiment of science and technology. With the advancement of science and technology, this profession has achieved remarkable results in meteorological observation, data analysis and model development. From meteorological observation instruments at the end of the 19th century to today's advanced technologies such as meteorological radar and satellite remote sensing, meteorological technology and engineering have provided more accurate meteorological data and models for mankind. At the same time, the development of computer technology has made the processing of meteorological data and the establishment of models more convenient. This profession is committed to the perfect combination of scientific principles and engineering methods to inject a strong impetus into the development of the field of meteorology. These three majors have their own characteristics, but they share the same goal of exploring the mysteries of the atmosphere and providing better services to human life. Whether you are an explorer interested in atmospheric phenomena, a practitioner who wants to apply meteorology to various fields, or an innovator who is obsessed with science and technology, the Atmospheric Science class will provide you with a stage to show your talents. Here, you can pursue knowledge, explore the unknown, and realize your dreams. Employment
The job market for atmospheric science majors is like a colorful picture, in which various types of talent demand are competing to bloom. These graduates, like arrows ready to be launched, are aiming at meteorological departments, naval and air forces, aviation, schools and scientific research institutions, and are ready to make a big difference in their respective fields. Some of them may become the backbone of meteorological services at all levels, responsible for forecasting and analysis. They hold the wind and rain of the future in their hands, passing on the secrets of the sky to the world. Others will become weather experts in the Navy and Air Force, guarding the country's borders and ensuring that every flight and every battle is conducted in the best weather conditions. In addition, the aviation industry needs them too. On the route of the aircraft, they are the guardians of the atmosphere, escorting every safe take-off and landing. Schools and research institutes are their academic home, where they can delve into the mysteries of atmospheric science and contribute to the development of science and technology in the future. Hail prevention and disaster relief departments and environmental protection departments at all levels are also where they come into play. In these positions, they will use the knowledge they have learned to serve the society and dedicate their strength to the well-being of the people. Of course, there are also positions such as lightning protection stations, which are like treasures waiting to be discovered and guarded by atmospheric science graduates. From the perspective of demand, the demand for undergraduate graduates majoring in atmospheric sciences in the National Weather Service system and the military system is much greater than the supply. It's like a huge magnetic field that attracts these graduates to devote themselves to it and realize their own value. Overall, atmospheric science graduates have great prospects in the job market. They can choose a variety of positions, give full play to their professional advantages, and contribute to the development of the country and society. Whether it is in the meteorological department, the navy and air force, the aviation industry, schools and scientific research institutions, or in the first hail prevention and disaster relief department and environmental protection department, they have a place. And the needs of the National Weather Service system and the military system provide them with a stage to show their talents. Colleges and Universities
It is not easy to get into the meteorological bureau, especially in economically developed areas such as first- and second-tier cities, and the meteorological bureau has become a popular unit to chase. Today, some municipal meteorological bureaus in remote areas still require a bachelor's degree, but in most areas the meteorological bureaus have raised the threshold to a master's degree or above. Just like the recruitment of the Shandong Meteorological Bureau, most of the positions explicitly require a graduate degree. Therefore, it is almost impossible for undergraduate graduates to step into the meteorological bureaus of first-tier cities. This is why it is important for atmospheric science students to continue their studies. If you choose to change careers, your interests and specialties will determine your career path, and your expertise in atmospheric science will no longer be closely related. However, thankfully, the mathematical thinking and knowledge of geography and computer science cultivated at the undergraduate level of atmospheric science provide students with opportunities to enter fields such as environmental protection and computer science. These fields are different from atmospheric science, but they are all indispensable fields in today's society. As a result, atmospheric science students still have the opportunity to excel in these areas and showcase their talents. 
At the first level, Peking University and Tsinghua University are like bright twin stars, shining brightly, and everyone knows about it. They are among the top universities in the country, and if you are lucky enough to have high scores, you should not hesitate to choose these two prestigious schools. And in between, Peking University stands out even better. Peking University's atmospheric science major is set under the School of Physics, which is unique. In the first two years of enrollment, students can take basic courses such as mathematics, physics, computer science, and electronic technology according to their own interests, so as to lay a solid foundation. After two years, students delve into the professional field of atmospheric science, which is both scientific and humane. Coming to the second level, we saw Nanjing University, Sun Yat-sen University and University of Science and Technology of China, three of the top 10 universities in China in terms of comprehensive strength. Not only do they excel in their respective fields, but together they open a door to atmospheric science for the students of Guangzhou. Nanjing University and Sun Yat-sen University both have independent schools of atmospheric sciences, with the right to confer bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees, and postdoctoral research stations, and their strength should not be underestimated. Further down, Lanzhou University, Ocean University of China, and National University of Defense Technology make up the third tier. These three schools have similar admission scores and are lower than those in the first two levels. Although they are less famous, they also open the door to atmospheric science for the students of Guangzhou. In addition, other institutions such as Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Chengdu University of Information Science and Technology, and Yunnan University have opened their doors to students interested in pursuing a career in atmospheric science. Each of these schools has its own merits and has injected a steady stream of vitality into China's educational undertakings.
