Do meteorologists need to have a knowledge of physical science?
A
Yes, they need to understand that atmosphere (air pressure, force).
B
Yes, they must have knowledge of heat, force, and chemistry.
C
No
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An Introduction to the Science and History of Weather Meteorology is a physical science–a branch of natural science that tries to explain and predict nature’s behavior based on empirical evidence, or observation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Research meteorologists study atmospheric phenomena such as lightning. Atmospheric scientists study the weather and climate. They may compile data, prepare reports and forecasts, and assist in developing new data collection instruments.

Detailed explanation-3: -Physical mineralogy is the study of physical properties of minerals, such as cohesion (hardness, cleavage, elasticity, and density; refer Table 1.1), optical, thermal and magnetic properties, electrical conductivity, and radioactivity, and so on.

Detailed explanation-4: -Observational data collected by doppler radar, radiosondes, weather satellites, buoys and other instruments are fed into computerized NWS numerical forecast models. The models use equations, along with new and past weather data, to provide forecast guidance to our meteorologists.
