Remote controled satellites are mainly used for meteorology making accurate weathher forecasting. With these natural disasters being predicted before they do harm to humans. People can be warned and they can escape from danger. However‚ we have to admit that cost of space research is extremely

Chapter 1 1.1 1. Meteorology is the scientific study of the atmosphere and the phenomena that we usually refer to as weather. Weather is constantly changing…it refers to the state of the atmosphere at a given time and place. Climate is a description of aggregate weather conditions. 2.

Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather. Numerous measurements of air pressure are used within surface weather analysis to help find surface troughs‚ high pressure systems‚ and frontal boundaries

Daltons First Major Step to the Atomic Theory Daltons fascination with science included a intense interest in meteorology. Starting in 1793 John kept careful daily weather records for 46 years. The meteorology study here led Dalton to a interest in the gases of the air and their ultimate components. This interest of gases led to Daltons discovery of the Atomic Theory Dalton’s Discovery John Dalton was
