What is Climatology?

The branch of science dealing with the laws of motion of air or other gases.

A measure of how hot it feels when relative humidity is combined with the actual air temperature, often referred to as the...

A narrow band of strong winds in the upper atmosphere, typically flowing from west to east and influencing weather patterns.

The decrease in temperature with height in an adiabatically rising air parcel (lapse rate). For dry air, this value is 1...

A strong wind typically ranging from 34 to 40 knots (39 to 46 miles per hour) and often associated with rough seas and stormy...

A fixed potential temperature line on adiabats, or the process of thermodynamic changes within a system without any exchange...

The process by which a solid changes directly into a gas without first becoming a liquid, such as ice turning into water...

Temperature scale, abbreviated as °C, found by accepting the freezing point of water at one atmospheric pressure as zero...

The state of the atmosphere when it contains the maximum amount of water vapor possible at a given temperature and pressure.

In a severe storm, with a swirling motion in its left rear quadrant, a vertically rotating column of air, often seen with...
