The United States Coast Guard (USCG) does include meteorology as part of its licensing and certification exams for mariners. The meteorology exam is typically a component of the "Deck General and Navigation General" module for individuals seeking a deck officer license.

The USCG Meteorology exam assesses a mariner's knowledge of meteorological principles, weather patterns, weather hazards, and their ability to interpret weather information for safe navigation. Some of the topics that may be covered in the exam include:

Basic meteorological principles: Understanding weather systems, air masses, fronts, pressure systems, and atmospheric circulation patterns.

Weather hazards: Recognition and response to weather-related hazards such as storms, squalls, fog, hurricanes, and tropical cyclones.
