Module 8 Meteorology and Tornadoes Meteorology, the study of the atmosphere, has been in place from the time when Aristotle wrote his book Meteorologica in 340 BC. Modern meteorology, which took a more analytical approach, began in the early nineteenth century. At that time, meteorologists were armed with devices such as barometers, thermometers, and hygrometers. Though, at the time, they didn’t have a full understanding of their importance and usefulness, they used the tools to record the changes in the troposphere. “As John Herschel, the most celebrated British scientist of his generation, contended, even if a person could not follow the details of a mathematical demonstration, verified predictions could still lead to the conviction that…

Career and College Research Paper “The astronomer is, in some measure, independent of his fellow astronomer; he can wait in his observatory till the star he wishes to observe comes to his meridian; but the meteorologist has his observations bounded by a very limited horizon, and can do little without the aid of numerous observers furnishing him contemporaneous observations over a wide-extended area.” (Epsy). Meteorology is the study of climate change and weather, another word for them would be…

Cole Shimek Austin Harris Atm Sci 100 5/11/16 Atmospheric Science 100 – Final Project Topic 1: Explain the difference between climate, weather, and meteorology.
