NAICS Code 541990-20 Description (8-Digit)

Meteorologists are professionals who study and forecast weather patterns and phenomena. They use a combination of scientific knowledge, computer models, and observational data to analyze and predict weather conditions. Meteorologists work in a variety of settings, including government agencies, private companies, and research institutions. They play a critical role in providing information to the public and helping individuals and organizations make informed decisions about weather-related risks.

History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 541990-20 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • Meteorology, the study of the atmosphere and its phenomena, has been around for centuries. The ancient Greeks were the first to study the weather and make observations, but it wasn't until the 19th century that meteorology became a recognized science. In 1854, the Smithsonian Institution established the first weather service in the United States, and in 1870, the U.S. Army Signal Corps took over the responsibility of forecasting the weather. The first weather satellite was launched in 1960, and in 1970, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was established to consolidate the various weather services in the U.S. Today, meteorologists use advanced technology such as Doppler radar, computer models, and satellites to forecast the weather with greater accuracy. In recent history, meteorology has become increasingly important due to the impact of climate change. The United States has experienced more frequent and severe weather events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires, which have led to an increased demand for meteorologists. In addition, the rise of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power has created a need for accurate weather forecasting to optimize energy production. The use of big data and machine learning has also revolutionized the field of meteorology, allowing for more accurate and detailed weather predictions. Overall, the meteorology industry has seen significant growth and innovation in recent years.
