Theoretical Meteorology

Theoretical meteorology is the scientific study of the principles and mathematical models that explain how the atmosphere behaves. It involves understanding the physical laws—like fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and radiation—to predict weather patterns, storms, and climate phenomena. By applying these principles through equations and simulations, scientists can analyze the processes driving atmospheric changes. This field provides the foundation for weather forecasting and helps us understand long-term climate trends, enabling better preparedness and decision-making related to weather events and environmental impacts.
