24 Facts About Meteorological

Meteorological phenomena are observable weather events that are explained by the science of meteorology.

Meteorological phenomena are described and quantified by the variables of Earth's atmosphere: temperature, air pressure, water vapour, mass flow, and the variations and interactions of these variables, and how they change over time.

Meteorological observed that air temperature decreased with increasing height and that clouds contain moisture.

Meteorological noted that heat caused objects to rise, and therefore the heat on a summer day would drive clouds to an altitude where the moisture would freeze.

Meteorological believed that fire and water opposed each other in the atmosphere, and when fire gained the upper hand, the result was summer, and when water did, it was winter.

Meteorological said that during the summer solstice, snow in northern parts of the world melted.

Meteorological gave hundreds of signs for weather phenomena for a period up to a year.

Meteorological's system was based on dividing the year by the setting and the rising of the Pleiad, halves into solstices and equinoxes, and the continuity of the weather for those periods.

Meteorological divided months into the new moon, fourth day, eighth day and full moon, in likelihood of a change in the weather occuring.

Meteorological constructed a map of the world divided into climactic zones by their illumination, in which the length of the Summer solstice increased by half an hour per zone between the equator and the Arctic.

Meteorological didn't make any personal contributions, and the value of his work is in preserving earlier speculation, much like Seneca's work.

Meteorological describes the meteorological character of the sky, the planets and constellations, the sun and moon, the lunar phases indicating seasons and rain, the anwa, and atmospheric phenomena such as winds, thunder, lightning, snow, floods, valleys, rivers, lakes.

Meteorological thought dense air produced propulsion in the form of wind.

Meteorological explained thunder by saying that it was due to ice colliding in clouds, and in Summer it melted.

Meteorological noted that Ptolemy's climactic zones had to be adjusted for topography.

Meteorological stated that a rainbow summit can not appear higher than 42 degrees above the horizon.

Meteorological discounted fire because it needed material to spread and produced nothing.

Meteorological discussed terrestrial bodies and vapors which arise from them, proceeding to explain the formation of clouds from drops of water, and winds, clouds then dissolving into rain, hail and snow.

Meteorological explained the rain as caused by clouds becoming too large for the air to hold, and that clouds became snow if the air was not warm enough to melt them, or hail if they met colder wind.

Meteorological introduced the Cartesian coordinate system to meteorology and stressed the importance of mathematics in natural science.

Meteorological's work established meteorology as a legitimate branch of physics.

The India Meteorological Department was established to follow tropical cyclone and monsoon.

In 1959, the UK Meteorological Office received its first computer, a Ferranti Mercury.

The American Meteorological Society publishes and continually updates an authoritative electronic Meteorology Glossary.
