Barry's Response - Ria:

Hey, degrees in those fields aren't necessary, but strengths in each of those fields are. Some countries have schools that teach meteorology and award degrees. Some of them require math, physics, geography, and chemistry.

Here are some employers in the Caribbean:

The Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology is based in Barbados and provides meteorological and hydrological services. Weather and climate training and research are offered at the center.

They can point you in the right direction for the right education and credentials.

The Caribbean Meteorological Institute (in Barbados) offers a B. Sc. in meteorology, part of the B. Sc. under agreement with the Caribbean Meteorological Council.

TTBS, Trinidad & Tobago Bureau of Standards, or the Meteorological Services Division of the Ministry of Public Utilities and the Environment might be able to help. You could check for Caribbean jobs in weather here, since they're behind the National Meteorology of Trinidad and Tobago, and might be able to help you find the right path to getting your qualification.

This last one has a Canadian connection, so I'm interested in it. Bellairs Research Institute is a field station operated by McGill University on Barbados' west coast. It was founded in 1954 by a Canadian geologist named James Bellairs.

The institute supports fields like marine biology, ecology, geology, and archaeology. Because of its diverse Caribbean environment, Bellairs Research Institute attracts researchers from all over. Visiting researchers have access to labs, lecture facilities, and accommodations on site. In addition to coral reefs and marine reserves, it has a variety of terrestrial ecosystems, so it's a great place to study natural resources.

Generally, these employers do weather forecasting, climate monitoring, data analysis, and research. Their education and credentials might depend on their position and level of responsibility.

I don’t know the information about the meteorology schools in Trinidad. But I think there will be good schools for meteorology. If you want to know the complete details, it is better to contact the educational department in Trinidad. You just try to get the information from there.

From Barry - Many websites provide information about schools in Trinidad, so you can do some research online. Also, you can talk to alumni to get a better idea of the school.
