Meteorology Bernard Haurwitz National Center for Atmospheric Research Boulder, Colorado Benson Fogle Geophysical Institute University of Alaska College, Alaska Chapman's meteorological studies and his impact on meteorology are more than enough to secure him a position of lasting influence in this field, even though his major interests are concentrated on other branches of terrestrial and space physics. Along with many others he felt that the word "meteorology" is an inappropriate name for this field, and in a letter published in 1946 entitled "A Plea for the Abolition of Meteorology" he suggested that it be renamed "aeronomy." As this suggestion was not accepted by meteorologists, he proposed later that the term "aeronomy" be adopted for the science of that part of the upper atmosphere "where dissociation and ionization become important." It is impossible to separate Chapman's contributions to the fields of meteorology and aeronomy, since they overlap, but three of his accomplishments of particular interest to modern meteorologists may be singled out for special mention. These are his work on diffusion in the earth's atmosphere, his studies of the photochemistry of atmospheric oxygen as it applies to ozone, and his work on atmospheric tides and oscillations. Among Chapman's many papers applying diffusion theory to stellar and planetary atmospheres, special mention must be made of his and Kendall's theory of the origin of noctilucent clouds, published in 1965. This theory, based on a systematic investigation of the upward diffusion of water vapor and the downward diffusion of meteoric dust, attributes the appearance of these clouds to the simultaneous occurrence of a descent of the turbopause to the mesopause, a low mesopause temperature, and the presence of moist air below the mesopause. While acceptance of their theory will depend on the observation of the three required conditions when noctilucent clouds are present and absent, the theoretical discussion of the diffusion and convection and of their effect on the formation of noctilucent clouds will remain a guide for future studies.

Students studying geology as a major will elect an option in traditional geology or environmental geology/hydrogeology. Career Options An Earth Science major is a broad program that typically emphasizes an interdisciplinary field. Programs leading to a degree may be individually designed but will include required courses in geology and meteorology, and required supporting work in chemistry, physics and mathematics. The emphasis of the Bachelor of Science degree program in Meteorology is on developing a broad understanding of the fundamental physical and dynamic processes governing the motions and behavior of the atmosphere as a fluid system. Basic courses in chemistry, physics and mathematics are prerequisites to the meteorology program and are considered the foundation courses on which the meteorology program is built.

Meteorology, climatology, atmospheric physics , and atmospheric chemistry are sub-disciplines of the atmospheric sciences.

Meteorology has application in many diverse fields such as the military, energy production, transport, agriculture and construction. Sub-classifications In the study of the atmosphere, meteorology can be divided into distinct areas of emphasis depending on the temporal scope and spatial scope of interest. At one extreme of this scale is climatology. In the timescales of hours to days, meteorology separates into micro-, meso-, and synoptic scale meteorology. Respectively, the

There remains for consideration a part of this inquiry which all our predecessors called meteorology. It is concerned with events that are natural, though their order is less perfect than that of the first of the elements of bodies. They take place in the region nearest to the motion of the stars. Such are the milky way, and comets, and the movements of meteors. It studies also all the affections we may call common to air and water, and the kinds and parts of the earth and the affections of its parts. These throw light on the causes of winds and earthquakes

Meteorology From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection Jump to: navigation search edit About the Book Meteorology embraces the study of the physics, chemistry, and dynamics of the atmosphere of the earth, including the related effects at the air–earth boundary over both land and the oceans. Fundamental topics include the composition, structure, and motion of the atmosphere. Meteorologists aim to understand completely and predict accurately atmospheric phenomena. Weather describes the state of the atmosphere at a given time and place with respect to such variables as temperature, moisture, wind velocity, and barometric pressure. Determining future weather involves more than simply looking at some pictures. Understanding meteorology requires understanding the atmosphere, some physics, and a lot of charts. Although this book may attempt to explain some mathematical concepts, many chapters simply require a preexisting considerable understanding of differential and integral calculus. Linear algebra, differential equations, and vector calculus also will aid the student greatly. Students also should possess some familiarity with physics, chemistry, computer information science (programming), statistics, and communication. edit Contents Introduction to Meteorology and the Atmosphere Introduction to the Definitions Makeup of the Atmosphere Layers of the Atmosphere ...

People need a timely weather forecast as the effects of flash floods put us in danger of injury and property damage. See the thunderstorm cumulonimbus clouds page for an example. What's a flash flood? Fast flooding of low-lying regions. We often see it caused by a sudden heavy rains. Basically, the meteorology flash flood conditions result from examines how floods are likely to occur. It's important because of the effects it can have, such as jams blocking the courses of rivers or the collapse of heavy structures. A cause of quick surges of flash flood water like this is when the soil is saturated with water, and it cannot absorb any more. The problem takes place when there is still more water to absorb beyond saturation. Under these circumstances, the water remains on the surface of the earth and causes problems like those described above. How does this happen? One case is when an
