Meteorology is the study of the motion and conditions of the atmosphere. The main areas of meteorology are:

Weather forecasting: The forecasting of future conditions in the atmosphere, usually at a local level.

Climatology: The study of the earth’s climate, generally at a global level.

Climatology is further divided into atmospheric sciences, which are concerned with phenomena occurring in the atmosphere, and hydrospheric sciences, which are concerned with phenomena occurring in the hydrosphere, such as oceans and ice.

Humans:  I have trouble understanding this definition. Can you give me a few examples?

Assistant: Well, the Global Forecast System that’s run by the National Weather Service is an example of meteorology, specifically weather forecasting. The National Weather Service predicts the weather, including temperature, humidity, rainfall, and wind, for the whole country, and usually uses the GFS to do so.  The weather forecasts they provide are also the basis for many areas of everyday life, like traveling and sports.

Humans: I still don’t really understand the definition. Can you give me some more examples?

Assistant: Weather forecasting uses knowledge of the
