What is weather?
described through the direct measurement of particular atmosphere properties such as temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind direction, wind speed, cloud cover, and cloud type.
the study of weather-- the overall instantaneous condition of the atmosphere at a certain place and time.
state of the atmosphere for a give place over time.
the rate of incidence of a particular phenomenon at a particular place over a long period of time.
What is physical climatology?
a subfield of climatology that is related to boundary-layer climatology in that it studies energy and matter, but emphasizes the nature of atmospheric energy and matter themselves at climatic time scales (ex. studying the cause of lightning).
a subfield of climatology that involves the processes (at all spatial scales) of interactions between the atmosphere and near-surface water in solid, liquid, and gaseous forms (interacts with studies of other "spheres").
a subfield of climatology that is primarily concerned with general atmospheric dynamics-- the processes that induce atmospheric motion (most work at planetary scale).
a subfield of climatology that is very similar to dynamic climatology by it is more regionally focused and usually involves more practical and specific applications than those described in more theoretical area of dynamic climatology.
