1) We can measure the atmosphere directly:
Old Way New Way Weather Balloons
Air- Buoy
plane
Weather Ship
Meteorology: How do we measure?

Meteorology
Meteorology: What do we do next?1) Analyze and study the current
weather (weather maps)
2) Use computers to predict the future of
the whole atmosphere
3) Use the computer results to predict
weather for your hometown
