Do a Google search for:
- Websites, blogs, even wikipedia are a good place to start but usually cannot be cited in your paper;
- Research (UCAR,NOAA,NWS) and university websites are more reliable than Wikipedia and popular sites and can in most circumstances be included as references.
- Refereed papers from scientific journals are the most reliable source as they have been scrutinized by at least three reviewers (called referees); research websites often provide references from the refereed literature.
- Archive of LSC Senior thesis: These provide relevant sources for your paper and can give you a concrete idea of what a good thesis or paper looks like; remember to reference it in your list of references if you use it.
- Weather forecasting
- COMET modules are educational modules on various topics developed by weather forecasters
- National Weather Service websites (NOAA, BTV, ALB, BOS) offer regional and forecast-related research that is not necessarily published in journals
- Broadcast meteorologists
- Earthguage is a website designed for broadcast meteorologists for the Station Scientist program. Broadcast meteorlogists are often the only scientists at the station and are called on to report on topics in science, environmental issues, and natural disasters.
- Climate science and other topics
- Real Climate: Climate scientist blog site.
- University Corporation for Climate Research (UCAR)
- Risk Management Research (private)
- Go to the AMS journals site where you can do a search as well
- For more recent papers, go to the AMS journals site through LSC proxy server or Academic Search Premier on the LSC Portal.
- The Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS) is a good place to start your search. It provides review articles that provides meteorologists with a review of important topics by the top scientists in the field.
- Nature and Science represent the top grade journals for all subjects in science, including meteorology and climate science.
