PHYSCI 102A
INTRODUCTION TO
INSTRUCTOR: JESRAEL C. BERNADAS
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
AT THE END OF THIS CHAPTER, YOU CAN:
• establish connections of meteorology
to other disciplines.
• design a blueprint for a sustainable
ecosystem.
• compute physics equations relating to
meteorology.
LESSON 1
WHAT IS
METEOROLOGY?
WHAT IS METEOROLOGY?
The atmosphere is the gaseous layer
of the physical environment that
surrounds a planet.
• Earth’s atmosphere is roughly 100
to 125 kilometers (65-75 miles)
thick.
• Gravity keeps the atmosphere from
expanding much farther and leaking
into the vacuum of space.
WHAT IS METEOROLOGY?
meteorology – the study of the
atmosphere, atmospheric
phenomena, and atmospheric
effects on our weather
• focuses on the lower parts of the
atmosphere, primarily the
troposphere, wheremost weather
takes place
• Meteorology is a subdiscipline of a
much broader science, called the
atmospheric sciences.
• The atmospheric sciences cover all
studies of the atmosphere.
WHAT IS METEOROLOGY?
• subdiscipline – a specialized field of study
within a broader subject or discipline
WHAT IS METEOROLOGY?
WEATHER AND CLIMATE
BRANCHES OF METEOROLOGY
the main focusof meteorology is
the study of chemistry and
physics that contributes to
weather changes.
CLIMATOLOGY
BRANCHES OF METEOROLOGY
the study of the climate, or long-
term weatherpatterns, how
they’vechanged in the past and
will change in the future
TOPOCLIMATOLOGY
BRANCHES OF METEOROLOGY
the study of how local
topography influences the
weather
BAROMETRY
BRANCHES OF METEOROLOGY
the detailed study of
atmospheric pressureand how it
affects both weather and
climate
PALEOCLIMATOLOGY
BRANCHES OF METEOROLOGY
the study of how prehistoric
weatherhas changed over time
PALEOTEMPESTOLOGY
BRANCHES OF METEOROLOGY
how prehistoric hurricanes and
cyclones have changed over
time
ATMOSPHERIC PHYSICS
BRANCHES OF METEOROLOGY
the physical processes in
weather and climate can be
described in of these branches
of meteorology.
AERONOMY
BRANCHES OF METEOROLOGY
observing the chemical and
physical properties of the upper
atmosphere
RADIOMETRY
BRANCHES OF METEOROLOGY
the study of electromagnetic
radiation in the upper
atmosphere
HYDROMETEOROLOGY
BRANCHES OF METEOROLOGY
the study of the hydrologic
cycle, the relationship between
water and air in the atmosphere
GEOMAGNETISM
BRANCHES OF METEOROLOGY
the study of changes in the
Earth’s magnetic field
GEOPHYSICS
BRANCHES OF METEOROLOGY
studies how physical processes
related to Earth and space
around it
LIFE SCIENCE
BRANCHES OF METEOROLOGY
Weather and climate have
tremendous impact on the biosphere
and some branches of meteorology
are concerned with this aspect
BIOCLIMATOLOGY
BRANCHES OF METEOROLOGY
the study of how weather and
climate affect life on the planet
GEOBIOLOGY
BRANCHES OF METEOROLOGY
studies the biosphere and how it
relates to the atmosphere
BIOMETEOROLOGY
BRANCHES OF METEOROLOGY
studies how weather patterns
affect living things in the planet
