Meteorological observer

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007242

An individual trained to measure, record, and transmit atmospheric data according to standardized procedures. Observers document weather elements such as cloud type and cover, visibility, and specific phenomena that automated systems cannot easily quantify. Their observations supplement instrumental data, providing a more complete picture of local weather conditions, particularly for aviation and synoptic forecasting.
