What does a weather surveyor do?

Meteorological cartographers are professionals engaged in meteorological observation and meteorological data processing. They are responsible for observing and recording meteorological observation stations, including measuring and recording meteorological elements such as temperature, humidity, air pressure and precipitation. Cartographers use specific meteorological symbols and expressions to draw these observation data into meteorological maps, so that meteorologists, forecasters and other professionals can make meteorological analysis and forecast.

The work of meteorological cartographers mainly includes the following aspects:

1. Conduct meteorological observation: go to the meteorological observation station regularly for installation, calibration and maintenance of meteorological instruments, use meteorological instruments for meteorological observation, and fill in observation records.

2. Meteorological data processing: collate, check and store the observed meteorological data to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data.

3. Drawing meteorological map: according to meteorological observation data, using meteorological symbols and drawing skills, drawing meteorological map, such as weather map, pressure isoline map, etc.

4. Participate in meteorological analysis: according to the meteorological map, assist meteorologists in meteorological analysis, understand and study the changes of atmospheric environment and weather situation, and provide support for meteorological forecast.

Generally speaking, a meteorological cartographer is a professional who is responsible for meteorological observation, sorting out observation data and drawing them into charts. They play an important role in meteorological forecast and research.
