Climatology
Climatologists work to predict the weather on the basis of atmospheric conditions. Their discoveries help society in planning activities, designing buildings and infrastructure, and anticipating the effects of adverse conditions.
Synoptic Meteorology
A branch of meteorology concerned with the study and forecasting of weather using synoptic weather observations and charts.
Dynamic Meteorology
This particular branch of meteorology deals with the study of atmospheric motion to describe the atmospheric processes through mathematical equations.
Agricultural Meteorology
It involves the study of weather to analyse its effect on crops, to aid the improvement of crop yield and quality, and minimize the adverse effect of weather on crops.
Aviation Meteorology
It is a branch of metereology dealing with the impact of weather and climate on air traffic management. It aims to help air crews understand the consequences of weather conditions for their flight plan and aircraft.
