Historical Meteorology

Historical meteorology is the study of past weather patterns and events using data collected from various sources, such as old weather records, diaries, ship logs, and other documents. This field helps us understand how weather has changed over time and how it has impacted societies, ecosystems, and climates. By analyzing this historical data, researchers can identify trends, natural climate variations, and the effects of human activity, contributing to our understanding of current climate issues and helping to predict future changes.
