required to understand and forecast the
weather? CHOICE A None. Its all
science! CHOICE B 12th Grade Level
Precalculus CHOICE C Calculus I, II, and
III CHOICE D Differential Equations More!
2
Answer CHOICE D Differential Equations More!
An interviewed meteorologist stated "Any type
of synoptic forecasting is based and rooted with
the The QG-Omega equation. This equation is
shown below and includes partial differential
equations that are taught in courses beyond
calculus and ordinary differential equations.
Another meteorologist summed it up with the
statement, "The math education a meteorologist
gets, which is part of a degree in meteorology,
is important as it bridges into how the
atmosphere works by pretty much quantifying it."
