Hurricane Sets Louisiana Native on Path to Forecasting Career

卡门·埃尔南德斯

As a 十大彩票网投平台 student, 卡门·埃尔南德斯 has already had the experience of issuing weather warnings to private businesses who are clients of USA’s Coastal 天气研究中心.

“Not a lot of undergraduate programs let you have the ability to issue a warning like 埃尔南德斯说. “They do give us a lot of training first.”

Growing up in Shreveport, Louisiana, she got hooked on weather because of 2005’s Hurricane Rita, one of the strongest hurricanes ever. “Seeing how much it could affect us, even as a tropical storm by the time it got up to us, just got me really interested,” Hernandez said. “I kept going from there, learning more about meteorology.”

She chose South’s meteorology program partly because she received in-state tuition rates through the Academic Common Market, an agreement among 15 Southern and mid-Atlantic states.

 

“You’re able to have one-on-one contact with the professors, and if you want to do any research, it’s super easy to 参与.”

 

“我真的很喜欢这里,”她说. “It’s a small program, so you’re able to have one-on-one contact with the professors, and if you want to do any research, it’s super easy to 参与.”

She also has worked with the South Alabama Mesonet, a network of 26 automated weather stations along the Gulf Coast used by South professors and researchers and by outside organizations, including the National Weather Service.

Thanks to the Weather Service’s Pathways Program, she’s well on her way to her goal 成为国家气象局预报员的机会. “I basically work full-time during the summer,” Hernandez 谈到实习项目. “They have me help on a research project or shadow forecasters and basically learn how to do things at the office.”

She’s practically been doing the job for years already. “我很注意 天气,无论何时发生. So if I’m with friends or family, I’ll tell them about it and try to explain why it’s happening.”
