The development of a curriculum for education in meteorology and science literacy

Abstract

A curriculum for education in meteorology is investigated from the viewpoint of meteorology and science education, paying attention to the "science of the weather forecast". Because a weather forecast is one of the most advanced information systems in modern society, it was decided to adopt detailed "science of the weather forecast" as the focal point in the curriculum developed in the present research. After a consideration, we propose a new curriculum for education in meteorology based on the "science of the weather forecast".
