The scientific study of the atmosphere is known as meteorology. This field combines various disciplines such as physics, chemistry, and environmental science to understand weather patterns, climate changes, and atmospheric phenomena. Meteorologists work to predict weather, understand climate variability, and study atmospheric conditions that can affect ecosystems and human life. Their work often involves analyzing data collected from satellites, radars, and weather stations, making it essential for preparedness in natural disasters and understanding the broader impacts of climate change.
