"Meteorology is a branch of the atmospheric sciences (which include atmospheric chemistry and physics) with a major focus on weather forecasting."
It is the study of the Earth’s atmosphere, including weather patterns, climate, and atmospheric phenomena.
Atmospheric Composition: The study of gases and particles in the Earth's atmosphere, including their chemical and physical properties and interactions.
Atmospheric Dynamics: The study of the motions of the Earth's atmosphere, including atmospheric circulation, wind patterns, and heat transfer.
Climate Change: The study of long-term changes in the Earth's climate, including the effects of human activity on the environment and natural climate cycles.
Clouds: The study of the various types of clouds, their formation, and their impact on weather patterns.
Global Weather Patterns: The study of weather patterns across the world, including the effects of ocean currents, atmospheric pressure, and temperature changes.
Meteorological Instruments: The study of tools and equipment used to measure and record atmospheric conditions, including thermometers, anemometers, and weather balloons.
Meteorological Models: The study of mathematical models used to predict past, present, and future weather conditions, including data assimilation, forecasting techniques, and model evaluation.
Meteorological Observations: The study of methods used to obtain weather data, including meteorological stations, satellites, aircraft, and ships.
Meteorological Phenomena: The study of extreme weather events, including tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, droughts, and heatwaves.
Meteorological Variables: The study of different types of atmospheric measurements, including temperature, pressure, humidity, and wind speed.
Radiation: The study of the transfer of energy through different layers of the atmosphere, including solar radiation, absorption, and reflection.
"The study of meteorology dates back millennia."
"Significant progress in meteorology did not begin until the 18th century."
"It was not until after the elucidation of the laws of physics, and more particularly in the latter half of the 20th century, the development of the computer (allowing for the automated solution of a great many modelling equations) that significant breakthroughs in weather forecasting were achieved."
"An important branch of weather forecasting is marine weather forecasting as it relates to maritime and coastal safety, in which weather effects also include atmospheric interactions with large bodies of water."
"Meteorological phenomena are observable weather events that are explained by the science of meteorology."
"Meteorological phenomena are described and quantified by the variables of Earth's atmosphere: temperature, air pressure, water vapour, mass flow, and the variations and interactions of these variables, and how they change over time."
"Meteorology, climatology, atmospheric physics, and atmospheric chemistry are sub-disciplines of the atmospheric sciences."
"Meteorology and hydrology compose the interdisciplinary field of hydrometeorology."
"Meteorology has application in many diverse fields such as the military, energy production, transport, agriculture, and construction."
"The word meteorology is from the Ancient Greek μετέωρος metéōros (meteor) and -λογία -logia (-(o)logy), meaning 'the study of things high in the air.'"
"The 19th century saw modest progress in the field after weather observation networks were formed across broad regions."
"Prior attempts at prediction of weather depended on historical data."
"Different spatial scales are used to describe and predict weather on local, regional, and global levels."
"The interactions between Earth's atmosphere and its oceans are part of a coupled ocean-atmosphere system."
