Learn Aviation Meteorology

The earth is surrounded by a large envelope of gases called atmosphere. The condition of the atmosphere and the changes it undergoes influence all physical, chemical and biological activities over the earth. The study pertaining to lower atmosphere and its changes is called atmosphere physics or meteorology. In modern usage, meteorology denotes the science of weather and includes the study of atmospheric phenomena.

Meteorology is important because of the impact of air conditions on life.

First of all weather forecasting has vital role in urban administration. Cities preparing extreme weather conditions such as tornadoes, snowstorms in order to prevent disasters.

Second, long term weather forecasting is important for agriculture. Drought can cause starvation. Meteorology is important for farmers since crops need water to grow up.

Meteorology is also important for both air and marine transportation. Windy weather effect planes and ships. Lightnings can be dangerous for planes. Sea waves give hard times to ships. Airports stop their operations and ships stay on harbors in extreme weather conditions.

Meteorology is the branch of science dealing with the earth’s atmosphere and the physical processes occurring in it”
