Meteorology

Meteorology

The science that studies physical phenomena and processes in the atmosphere and their changing patterns. The research field of meteorology is very broad, and the research methods vary greatly. Meteorology is divided into many subdisciplines: atmospheric physics, synopticology, dynamical meteorology, climatology, etc. With the development of production, the application of meteorology has become increasingly widespread, and applied disciplines such as marine meteorology, aviation meteorology, agricultural meteorology, forest meteorology, and pollution meteorology have emerged one after another. The application of modern science and technology in the field of meteorology has led to the emergence of new sub-disciplines, such as radar meteorology, satellite meteorology, cosmic meteorology, etc. Meteorology is an applied science that is closely related to production and life and involves many disciplines.

Thousands of years ago, people have recorded atmospheric phenomena. With the development of science and technology, the invention of meteorological observation instruments, the development of detection methods, communication equipment and computing tools, and the expansion and deepening of human exploration of atmospheric phenomena, it has gradually developed into scientific meteorology. Since the 20th century, new achievements in modern science and technology have been widely used in the field of meteorological science, bringing meteorological science into a new era. For example, the introduction of electronic technology has made atmospheric detection more automated, remote sensing, and systematized; the emergence of weather radar has enabled meteorologists to monitor and track the movement and development of severe storms; the application of electronic computers has made numerical forecasting a reality, making Weather forecasts are becoming more objective and quantitative; the application of meteorological satellites has filled in the meteorological data of deserts, plateaus, oceans and other areas; the development of space technology has expanded the study of atmosphere to outer space, and humans can overlook the earth's atmosphere from outer space etc. Currently, with the development of information science, the world is facing a new technological revolution mainly represented by microelectronics technology, new materials, new energy and ocean technology, which will surely promote the rapid development of meteorological science.
