Concise introduction to the hows and whys of weatherLightning, hurricanes, tornadoes, snowstormsMeteorology explores the earth's weather and attempts to explain the various phenomena associated with it, from the continuous movement of water in the hydrologic cycle to dangerous funnel clouds that appear during a storm.
