a. The MPS degree does not require a Scholarly Paper (a research paper of publishable quality), while the MS does. b. The MPS program concentrates on developing skills and imparting knowledge most relevant to forecasters and providers of climate and air quality information to the public, while the MS program concentrates on preparation of students for PhD work and a career as scientists.
