GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere and motions within the atmosphere on short-time scales (minutes to weeks). Commonly known as ‘weather, ‘ meteorology focuses on the atmospheric variables (e.g., temperature, precipitation) related to weather forecasting and current or near-future conditions.

Detailed explanation-2: -In short, meteorologists want to completely understand how Earth’s atmosphere works (and often use that knowledge for future predictions). That means meteorologists need to know about the composition, structure, and air motions within the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -Observational data collected by doppler radar, radiosondes, weather satellites, buoys and other instruments are fed into computerized NWS numerical forecast models. The models use equations, along with new and past weather data, to provide forecast guidance to our meteorologists.
