What is meteorology?

Meteorology is the scientific study of the Earth's atmosphere, particularly in relation to weather and climate. It involves the observation, interpretation, and prediction of atmospheric phenomena, including temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind patterns, precipitation, and the composition of the atmosphere itself. Meteorologists use various tools and techniques, such as weather balloons, satellites, radar, and computer models, to gather data and analyze atmospheric conditions. The information obtained from meteorological studies helps in understanding and predicting weather patterns, severe weather events, and long-term climate changes.
