What is the name of the person who studies climate?

Posted at: 2015-03-12 
There are two terms in common use, with somewhat different meanings.

Traditionally someone that studies climate was called a climatologist. This typically would be classifying climates (e.g. steppe, Mediterranean) and understanding why each type of climate occurs where it does. It was closely tied to agriculture and land cover, since climate determines those things.

In recent years "climate scientist" has come into use for someone that studies the climate system and how the different parts (atmosphere, oceans, cryosphere) interact with one another.

Climatologists study climate.

Paleoclimatolgists study the climates of past eras on earth, and often apply what they learn to projecting future climate.

Astrophysisits study climates on other planets and often apply their learning to understanding climate on earth.

Many scientific disciplines are part of our advancing understanding of climate.

Why thank you Sagebrush but I really don't deserve all the credit. Just kidding, I don't really study climate. I just look outside and it only takes me a second or two to decide if I need a coat.
