DEFINITION OF METEOROLOGY

The study of the Earth’s atmosphere, along

with its movements, energy, interactions with other systems,

and weather forecasting. Different aspects of meteorology

include the study of the structure of the atmosphere, such as

its compositional and thermal layers, and how energy is distributed

within these layers. It includes analysis of the composition

of the atmosphere and how the relative and absolute

abundance of elements has changed with time, and how different

interactions of the atmosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere

contribute to the atmosphere’s chemical stability. A

fundamental aspect of meteorology is relating how different

factors, including energy from the Sun, contribute to cloud

formation, movement of air masses, and weather patterns at

specific locations. Meteorologists are responsible for being

able to interpret these complex energy changes and moisture

changes and for using this knowledge to predict the weather.

Increasingly, meteorologists are able to use data collected

from orbiting satellites to aid their interpretation of these

complex phenomena. Satellites have immensely increased the

ability to monitor and predict the strength and paths of

severe storms such as hurricanes, as well as monitor many

aspects of the atmosphere, including moisture content, pollution,

and wind patterns.
