- 10 skills to score
- 1–10 scale on every skill
- 5 starting levels
The 10 Climate, Hydrology & Environmental Modelling skills you can score
These are the default Climate, Hydrology & Environmental Modelling skills in SkillScorer. Each one is scored from 1 to 10 for every meteorologist, and you can edit, remove or add skills at any time.
Climate Data Analysis and Statistics
Applies statistics to long-term data to identify trends, extremes and variability.
Hydrological Modelling and River Forecasting
Builds and runs models that turn rainfall and catchment data into river level forecasts.
Flood Warning and Emergency Coordination
Supports flood warnings and works with emergency managers during floods.
Drought and Seasonal Outlook Monitoring
Monitors rainfall, soil moisture and outlooks to assess drought and seasonal risk.
Programming and Data Science for Environmental Data
Uses code and data science tools to process, model and visualise environmental data.
Climate Change Science Communication
Explains climate change science and projections accurately and without exaggeration.
Quality Assurance of Datasets
Checks datasets for gaps, errors and bias and documents how they were corrected.
Collaboration With Water Managers and Councils
Works with water agencies and councils so forecasts and models meet their needs.
Scientific Report and Paper Writing
Writes clear technical reports and papers that present methods and results honestly.
Peer Review and Continuous Learning
Reviews colleagues' work constructively and keeps up with new research and methods.
Levels included with Climate, Hydrology & Environmental Modelling
Climate, Hydrology & Environmental Modelling starts with 5 levels, which SkillScorer calls “Seniority Level” for meteorology & weather services, so meteorologists can be grouped and compared fairly. Rename, reorder or replace them at any time.
- Analyst
- Hydrologist
- Senior Scientist
- Principal Scientist
- Team Leader
How Climate, Hydrology & Environmental Modelling works in SkillScorer
Score
Each meteorologist in a team is scored on the Climate, Hydrology & Environmental Modelling skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank meteorologists, compare two side by side, or compare your teams against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Climate, Hydrology & Environmental Modelling skills need attention. Reports also follow each senior forecaster's team.
Climate, Hydrology & Environmental Modelling scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Climate, Hydrology & Environmental Modelling scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Climate, Hydrology & Environmental Modelling scorecard covers 10 skills: Climate Data Analysis and Statistics, Hydrological Modelling and River Forecasting, Flood Warning and Emergency Coordination, Drought and Seasonal Outlook Monitoring, Programming and Data Science for Environmental Data, Climate Change Science Communication, Quality Assurance of Datasets, Collaboration With Water Managers and Councils, Scientific Report and Paper Writing and Peer Review and Continuous Learning. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.
How are meteorologists scored in Climate, Hydrology & Environmental Modelling?
Every meteorologist is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one team and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Climate, Hydrology & Environmental Modelling?
Climate, Hydrology & Environmental Modelling starts with these levels (called “Seniority Level” in the app): Analyst, Hydrologist, Senior Scientist, Principal Scientist and Team Leader. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Climate, Hydrology & Environmental Modelling skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In meteorology & weather services the app talks about meteorologists, teams and senior forecasters, and you can change any of those words too.
