Aviation meteorologist jobs in Finland
Aviation meteorologists forecast weather conditions in airports. They provide day-to-day, hour-to-hour observations, analysis, forecasts, warnings, and advice to pilots, airport operators and airlines in meteorological matters. They report weather conditions expected at airports, current conditions, and en route forecasts.
Aviation meteorologist - Which skills are essential?
Maintain and improve employees' performance by coaching individuals or groups how to optimise specific methods, skills or abilities, using adapted coaching styles and methods. Tutor newly recruited employees and assist them in the learning of new business systems.
Gather data from satellites, radars, remote sensors, and weather stations in order to obtain information about weather conditions and phenomena.
Prepare accurate forecasts of climatic conditions for the take off and landing of aircraft; take into account parameters such as temperature, wind direction, and wind speed.
Make short-term and long-term weather forecasts applying physical and mathematical formulae; understand specialised computer modelling applications.
Collect data and statistics to test and evaluate in order to generate assertions and pattern predictions, with the aim of discovering useful information in a decision-making process.
Use meteorological data and tools such as weather facsimile machines, weather charts and computer terminals, to anticipate weather conditions.
Make use of various types of communication channels such as verbal, handwritten, digital and telephonic communication with the purpose of constructing and sharing ideas or information.
Produce thoughts using logic and reasoning in order to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, conclusions or approaches to problems.
Work confidently in a group in general aviation services, in which each individual operates in their own area of responsibility to reach a common goal, such as a good customer interaction, air safety, and aircraft maintenance.

Recommend the most effective course of action to assist aircraft in hazardous conditions.
Evaluate routine air observations, analyse a variety of weather information from various sources, and constantly monitor weather conditions to maintain the validity of the forecast.
Revise estimated meteorological parameters; solve gaps between real-time conditions and estimated conditions.
Develop mathematical models of the atmosphere and oceans to predict the weather based on current weather conditions.
Plan and organise the ordering and purchase of appropriate meteorological equipment and tools required for weather forecasting.
Develop operating procedures for meteorological services; provide quality assurance and pursue continuous improvement of service.
Analyse weather forecasts and the information provided on meteorological conditions, such as wind forces, atmospheric structures, clouds, and visibility. Provide analyses depending on the requirements of various different industries and service providers.
Participate in research activities on weather-related conditions and phenomena; study the physical and chemical characteristics and processes of the atmosphere; present research results in scientific journals.
Monitor the performance of meteorological forecasting equipment.
Lead and guide employees through a process in which they are taught the necessary skills for the perspective job. Organise activities aimed at introducing the work and systems or improving the performance of individuals and groups in organisational settings.
Conduct surveys of meteorological conditions; prepare accurate weather forecast for airport.
