Watch the unit video on Meteorology and consider what is shown from the viewpoint of
an agronomist. You will also want to do some online research to help you give more
complete answers.
As you watch you will answer the following questions:
 What types of weather would challenge an agronomist?
 What impact does improving, but steadily more congested transportation have on
the study and improvement of crop sciences?
 What impact does weather have on aviation transportation?
 How can weather conditions in one area affect the crop sciences in another part of
the country?
 Why would agronomists be concerned with the sun’s impact on the earth’s
weather patterns?
 Describe the weather patterns that can create precipitation?
 What impact can studying wind patterns have on crops?
 Why would an agronomist want to understand the differences between different
types of winter precipitation?
