Meteorology is the scientific study of the atmosphere and its phenomena, including weather, climate, and atmospheric processes. Meteorologists study atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, wind, precipitation, and other atmospheric variables to understand, predict, and explain weather patterns and climate change.
Here are some key aspects of meteorology:
* Weather forecasting: Using data from various sources like satellites, weather balloons, and surface observations, meteorologists predict future weather conditions.
* Climate monitoring: Analyzing long-term weather patterns to understand climate trends and variations.
* Atmospheric research: Studying the physical and chemical processes within the atmosphere to understand its role in the Earth's climate system.
* Environmental impact: Understanding how weather and climate affect human activities and the environment.
