Meteorology: A.Chandrashekar 1210A003

Meteorology is the scientific study of the atmosphere and atmospheric phenomena such as weather and climate. It involves observation and prediction of weather, understanding the physical processes of the atmosphere, and applying meteorological data and knowledge to sectors such as agriculture, aviation, and more. The main types of meteorology include synoptic, dynamic, physical, agriculture, applied, nuclear, hydrometeorology, aviation, and maritime meteorology.

Synoptic Meteorology

• Movement of low pressure areas, air masses, and other


weather systems like depressions and tropical cyclones.

• Taken on the ground or on ships and in the upper atmosphere


with the help of balloon soundings

Meteorology 12/08/2021 6
Nuclear meteorology
Nuclear meteorology investigates the distribution of
radioactive aerosols and gases in the atmosphere

Hydrometeorology

Hydrometeorology is the branch of meteorology


that deals with the hydrologic cycle, the water
budget, and the rainfall statistics of storms.

Meteorology 12/08/2021 7
Physical Meteorology

study the physical processes of the atmosphere,

Cloud physics

study of rain processes

Meteorology 12/08/2021 8
Aviation meteorology
Aviation meteorology deals with the impact of
weather on air traffic management.

It is important for air crews to understand the


implications of weather on their flight plan.

Meteorology 12/08/2021 9
Maritime meteorology

Maritime meteorology deals with air and wave


forecasts for ships operating at sea.

Organizations such as the Ocean Prediction Center,


Honolulu National Weather Service forecast office,
United Kingdom Met Office, and JMA prepare high seas
forecasts for the world's oceans.

Meteorology 12/08/2021 10
Applied Meteorology

Use weather information and adopt the findings

Eg:
Design of aircraft, control of air pollution, architectural
design, urban planning, exploitation of solar and wind
energy, air-conditioning, development of tourism, etc.

Meteorology 12/08/2021 11
Agriculture Meteorology

Application of meteorological information and data for the enhancement of crop


yields and reduction of crop losses

The agro meteorologist requires not only a sound knowledge of meteorology,


plant physiology and plant in addition to common agricultural practices
