What are some aspects of meteorology?
Meteorology is subdivided into many specialty areas including—but not limited to—physical meteorology (dealing with physical aspects of the atmosphere such as rain or cloud formation, or rainbows and mirages), synoptic meteorology (the analysis and forecast of large-scale weather systems), dynamic meteorology (studies …
What is the purpose of meteorology?
Beyond weather forecasting, meteorology is concerned with long-term trends in climate and weather, and their potential impact on human populations. An important area of meteorological research these days is climate change and the effects it may cause.

Is temperature meteorology?
TEMP (upper air soundings) is a set of World Meteorological Organization (WMO) alphanumerical codes used for reporting weather observations of the upper regions of the atmosphere made by weather balloons released from the surface level (either at land or at sea).
Why is meteorology important to society?
Meteorology is important because of the impact of air conditions on life. Meteorology is important for farmers since crops need water to grow up. Meteorology is also important for both air and marine transportation. Windy weather effect planes and ships.

Which is part of the atmosphere does meteorology cover?
Yet it covers all aspects of the atmosphere, including atmospheric physics and chemistry (1).
