Climatologists and meteorologists uses mathematical skills in collecting climate data, investigating climate indicators, and making predictions regarding climate patterns. They may use computer models to study how Earth’s climate changes with time, and sophisticated computer software programs that assist them in modeling the Earth’s climate and check that data against known information. They conduct research to determine if humans are affecting Earth’s present and future climate.
