Certification or Licensing
Many forensic meteorologists earn the certified consulting meteorologist (CCM) certification, which is awarded by the American Meteorological Society (AMS). While certification is voluntary, it is almost a prerequisite in a field in which one is frequently asked to present expert opinions in court and in other legal proceedings. Applicants for the CCM program must meet educational requirements, have a minimum of five years of work experience at the professional level in meteorology or in a related field, and pass an examination.
