Meteorology is the branch of atmospheric sciences that investigates the physical and dynamical processes governing the atmosphere, with emphasis on the troposphere where most weather phenomena occur. It integrates fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, radiative transfer, and cloud microphysics to analyze and model atmospheric circulation, energy balance, and phase transitions of water. Meteorological research underpins numerical weather prediction, climate and mesoscale modeling, boundary-layer studies, and data assimilation using in situ and remote sensing observations. Applications include quantitative forecasting of precipitation, temperature, wind, and severe convective events, as well as providing inputs and constraints for climate science, hydrology, and environmental monitoring.
Extremes in temperature and rainfall in the UK are becoming increasingly frequent, the nation's meteorological service said Monday in a report on Britain's changing climate.
