Earning Criteria

Meteorology - Earners have worked to interpret thermodynamic diagrams, learn about cloud types, and reach conclusions about the structure of the atmosphere, including the presence of clouds and precipitation.
Observation Systems - Earners have explored meteorological measurement techniques, recorded observations, and developed an understanding of a distributed observation network.
Climate Forecasting - Earners have explored weather patterns and forecasts to develop an understanding of how this data is used in a climate context. They have looked into long-range forecasts to understand the impacts of long-term weather conditions in Australia.
Insights into Climate and Meteorology Industries - Earners have participated in a Q&A panel session with the Bureau of Meteorology industry professionals. Earners have practised active listening and asked complex questions about the climate and meteorology sectors.
