My primary question is regarding professorship: Outside of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science departments, are there teaching posts for AOS grads? Are atmospheric science grads getting teaching positions in geology departments? If so, any at small liberal arts schools? How about climate modelers? Where are folks working outside of academia? (Feel free to expand the discussion to other aspects of AOS job prospects. I'm just particulary interested in teaching.)

Since there are a few atmospheric science folks here (who I'm sure collectively have done a ton of research into programs): Which do you think are the top 10 or so programs (roughly) for climate science/atmospheric & oceanic science? Perhaps mention their strengths (modeling, aerosols, oceans circulation, paleoclimatology, ice dynamics, etc.)? Weaknesses? Size (# students/profs)? Funding? I saw one applicant, but are there any other applicants to Princeton AOS here? Any Columbia EES folks?
