Meteorology is the science dealing with the atmosphere and its phenomena, including both weather and climate.
Meteorology is the science of weather. It is essentially an inter-disciplinary science because the atmosphere, land and ocean constitute an integrated system. The three basic aspects of meteorology are observation, understanding and prediction of weather. There are many kinds of routine meteorological observations.
Changes in atmospheric pressure signal shifts in the weather. A high-pressure system usually brings cool temperatures and clear skies. A low-pressure system can bring warmer weather, storms, and rain. Meteorologists express atmospheric pressure in a unit of measurement called an atmosphere.
Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time. When we talk about climate change, we talk about changes in long-term averages of daily weather.
There are five primary different types of weather that can occur: sunny, rainy, windy, stormy, and cloudy. However, many of these types of weather can overlap and occur at the same time. Types of weather are influenced by sunshine, precipitation, wind, and humidity.
Weather change occurs primarily due to air pressure, temperature, and moisture differences between one place to another. These differences can occur due to the sun's angle at any particular spot, which varies by latitude from the tropics.
The local weather that impacts our daily lives results from large global patterns in the atmosphere caused by the interactions of solar radiation, Earth's large ocean, diverse landscapes, and motion in space.
The weather affects us in many ways. Day-to-day changes in weather can influence how we feel and the way we look at the world.
