"Pro" Meteorology Council (??)[edit]

ProMeteorologyCouncil, I have a couple of questions regarding your (repeated) changes of Brooks Garner's title:

Does MSU itself call you a meteorologist after you've received this degree/certificate/credential, or only after you receive the four-year degree?

 -Yes, if after the 3 year distant learning program or after the masters/undergrad program, you have a seal from the NWS and/or AMS, and 3 years weather experience on TV, to fit within AMS guidelines.

What other organizations are there besides the AMS that either issue or recognize the credential of "meteorologist"? Who else makes up the "Meteorological Community" to which you refer?

 -With his whole argument, he is probably refering to the community of calculus-based operational meteorologists -- the kind that design the computer models, rather than actually use them to forecast weather.

What are your own professional credentials in this area ProMeteorologyCouncil? You've made statements on behalf of the "Meteorological Community" without offering any sources for those statements or evidence of your own knowledge or experience. Until you can source some of your statements, your stating that he's NOT a meteorologist is every bit as much a matter of opinion as someone else stating that he is. I'm not taking sides, and I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just asking for more information. Thanks for your attention.

Hey, I love that this guy's calling himself "Pro Meteorological Council" -- like he's some official organization!! hahahahaha

I looked up your "council" on the web to see if I could find some info about the members of your "council."

You guessed it, no luck. So does this make you an official source, or just an official wiki-vigilante?
