Meteorology
The science of weather-related phenomena. See weather, climate. (source: EPA) Background from Wikipedia Satellite image of Hurricane Hugo with a polar low visible at the top of the image. Aristotle Meteorology is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the atmosphere that focuses on weather processes and forecasting. Meteorological phenomena are observable weather events which illuminate and are explained by the science of meteorology. Those events are bound by the variables that exist in Earth's atmosphere. They are temperature, pressure, water vapor, and the gradients and interactions of each variable, and how they change in time. The majority of Earth's observed weather is located in the troposphere. Meteorology, climatology, atmospheric physics, and atmospheric chemistry are sub-disciplines of the atmospheric sciences. Meteorology and hydrology comprise the interdiscplinary field of hydrometeorology. Meteorologic oceanography studies interactions between our atmosphere and the ocean's hydrosphere. Meteorologic oceanography is one of several sub-domains into which oceanography is divided; others include physical oceanography, biological, chemical, geological and meteorologic oceanography. Applications of meteorology include military meteorology which grew in importance during the 20th century.
