Weather
|
The state of the atmosphere at some place and time described in such terms as temperature, humidity, cloudiness, percipitation, and wind speed and direction
|
|
|
Metoerology
|
The scientific study of the atmosphere and atmospheric processes.
|
|
|
Climate
|
Weather of some locality averaged over some time period plus extremes in weather behavior observed during the same period or during the entire period of record.
|
|
|
Climatology
|
Study of climate, its controls and spatial and temporal visibility. In weather forecasting, a forecast derived from climatology is based on the type of weathe that occured on the same day in years past.
|
|
|
Air Pressure
|
The cumulative force exerted on any force by the molecules composing air; usually expressed as the weight of air per unit surface are.
