Meteorology

Meteorology is the science of the atmosphere and it comes from the Greek word meteoron which means something that happens in the sky. The Greeks are the ones that first discovered it as they studied the sun, the clouds, the rain, and the wind and how they might relate with each other. The weather was important in regular society back then because it helped the farmers grow and harvest crops and help them to make money. They say these days due to the fact that the weather plays a major affect on society that the weather is more important and that more detailed information would have to be done. They also say that the atmospheres have been changing more since the past and that it is capable of making more changes therefore making weather an inconvenience and more severe to daily lives. Aristotle is considered the father of meteorology. His book was the first book ever written on the study of meteorology. However as said in his book the only study of the atmosphere that they could study is the wind, rainfall and direction for quit sometime. As years went on scientist started discovering that clouds, wind and rain are caused by large weather systems that grow and change as they move across the earth. These days it all depends on the temperature, the terrain and the pressures and also how much energy it gets, to see what type of storm your state will get and that can change because all around the world, weather is different because there is a different season in each Hampshire. The barometer which measures air pressure and the thermometer which measures temperature finally came out in 1600 ad. When the telegraph was invented it allowed weather reports to be sent around to people which made a very good convenience to farmers. As time went on meteorologist finally got the laws of physics together and assumed these systems would move, and they also looked at the pressure and temperatures to see if it would be rain and snow and what different places would get rain and snow.  In world war 2 the weather was very much needed as the pilots needed clear skies and very sunny conditions to fly. As they got into war world 2 they discovered the radar, which helped them track the thunderstorms and to figure out where they would be going. The Greek philosophers finally started observing the sky and inventing new tools of meteorology, and those tools are very important to our daily lives so as the years go on more tools will get invented and it will help the world and the people living in it a better place.
