A successful meteorology graduate will be able to:
1. Conduct a weather discussion and apply diagnostic, prognostic, and technological tools to evaluate atmospheric processes across a multitude of scales.
2. Demonstrate integrated understanding of the linked Earth-atmosphere-ocean-cryosphere-biosphere system, including the roles of atmospheric chemistry and human impacts on the system.
3. Apply critical and analytical thinking to solve relevant scientific problems in both individual and collaborative settings.
4. Effectively communicate scientific information orally and in writing, including by electronic means, at an appropriate level for their audience.
5. Demonstrate mastery of the mathematical and physical foundations of meteorology and climatology as well as key atmospheric processes that occur at a variety of spatial and temporal scales.
6. Understand and utilize the principles of proper ethical behavior within the atmospheric sciences and be aware of the scientific limits of prediction.
