Category Scope
47 Meteorology and Climatology Includes weather observation forecasting and modification. Definition Meteorology – The study dealing with the phenomena of the atmosphere especially as they relate to weather and climate. NASA Thesaurus, Washington, DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Climatology – Branch of meteorology that studies the average weather conditions and statistical variations for a specified region over an extended period of time. NASA Thesaurus, Washington, DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA Interest Exhaustive Interest : Earthbound, air, and space observations and measurements of global meteorological conditions and phenomena; weather forecasting of particular interest to, and use by, the aerospace community; and meteorological and climatological satellite studies; unusual global weather systems and climate trends. Selective Interest : Research and observations not related to aerospace activities, but contributing to a better understanding of weather and climatological problems. Negative Interest : Routine, day-to-day local weather forecasting. | |
