Meteorology Intro

What is meteorology?

• The study of the atmosphere and its physical processes

• The study of weather patterns

• The study of climate change

• The study of space objects

What is weather?

• The average atmospheric conditions in a certain place

• The study of long-term climate patterns

• The set of atmospheric conditions at a given time and place

• The study of optical effects in the atmosphere

What is climate?

• The average atmospheric conditions in a certain place

• The set of atmospheric conditions at a given time and place

• The study of long-term climate patterns

• The study of electrical phenomena in the atmosphere

What are hydrometeors?

• Water-related phenomena in a liquid or solid state

• Phenomena formed by particles other than water

• Optical effects in the atmosphere

• Electrical phenomena in the atmosphere

What determines climate on a large scale?

• The amount of solar radiation absorbed by the surface and the Earth's rotation

• The type of surface and terrain characteristics

• The latitude and longitude of a place

• The relative humidity and wind speed

What is the main objective of aeronautical meteorology?
