Outline of meteorology
Résumé
Index of meteorology articles
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to the field of Meteorology.
Meteorology The interdisciplinary, scientific study of the Earth's atmosphere with the primary focus being to understand, explain, and forecast weather events. Meteorology, is applied to and employed by a wide variety of diverse fields, including the military, energy production, transport, agriculture, and construction.
Meteorology
Climate – the average and variations of weather in a region over long periods of time.
Meteorology – the interdisciplinary scientific study of the atmosphere that focuses on weather processes and forecasting (in contrast with climatology).
Weather – the set of all the phenomena in a given atmosphere at a given time.
Microscale meteorology – the study of atmospheric phenomena about 1 km or less, smaller than mesoscale, including small and generally fleeting cloud "puffs" and other small cloud features
Mesoscale meteorology – the study of weather systems about 5 kilometers to several hundred kilometers, smaller than synoptic scale systems but larger than microscale and storm-scale cumulus systems, skjjoch as sea breezes, squall lines, and mesoscale convective complexes
Synoptic scale meteorology – is a horizontal length scale of the order of 1000 kilometres (about 620 miles) or more
Surface weather analysis – a special type of weather map that provides a view of weather elements over a geographical area at a specified time based on information from ground-based weather stations
Weather forecasting – the application of science and technology to predict the state of the atmosphere for a future time and a given location

Wind speed
Anemometer – a device for measuring wind speed; used in weather stations
Barograph – an aneroid barometer that records the barometric pressure over time and produces a paper or foil chart called a barogram
Barometer – an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure using either water, air, or mercury; useful for forecasting short term changes in the weather
Ceiling balloon – a balloon, with a known ascent rate, used to measure the height of the base of clouds during daylight
Ceiling projector – a device that is used, in conjunction with an alidade, to measure the height of the base of clouds
Ceilometer – a device that uses a laser or other light source to measure the height of the base of clouds.
