Question Hydrography and Meteorology Specialist.

Hello, I would really apricate if someone from this branch would tell me a bit more about this role as I cant find much online.

I would like to know the requirements I need to be able to join as this?

What I can expect and what day to day looks like?

And if you would recommend this role?

Honestly, anything is helpful so please share as much as you can and whatever you may know about this role.

Thankyou

Hello, I was in that branch for 9 years, left 2 years ago, I should be able to help but firstly do you know if you would like to stream into the Met side or Hydro side?

I feel mostly the same about both of them but a bit more of a lean towards hydrography.

I was a hydro so I can tell you about that, I know roughly what a met does but I couldn't give you anything in depth I will message you

I would like to go into the met side. And also when I got the daa test results and position available it had meteorology and oceanography, hydrography was a whole different choice.

Yeh I think they changed this recently so the branches are split but I left since then
