This week will be remembered as one when meteorology and punditry became strange bedfellows and a measure of perspective was gone with the wind.
It is that part of the N.F.L. calendar when meteorology collides with muscle and momentum, and the results are condensed to shorthand -- the Ice Bowl, the Fog Bowl, the Tuck Rule Game, the Freezer Bowl, the holy-cheese-it-is-cold-here-in-Green-Bay game two years ago.
Since 1854, when state-sponsored meteorology was born, weather forecasting has always been recognised as a valuable business one dollar invested in meteorology is said to yield about $15 in terms of casualties avoided, harvests saved and so on.
In contrast, off-line chemical transport models (CTMs) have been shown15,16,17 to give an accurate simulation of stratospheric ozone loss when they use meteorological analyses our best estimate of the 'real' meteorology.
Twain was writing in the late nineteenth century, a time when the field of meteorology was belatedly coming into its own.
I understand cynicism and skepticism when it comes to meteorology.

If anyone is going to drop out, it will be during these six months, when cadets study everything from meteorology to human performance, radio navigation to air law, with two sets of seven exams, at three months and at six.
In the decades since the first death, when a University of Oklahoma meteorology student's car swerved off the road in 1984, the few storm chasers who died perished in automobile accidents.
Causes of inversions are dependent upon local topography and meteorology interactions, including when rapid overnight cooling of the earth's surface causes cooling of air near the surface, compared to higher altitude air (i.e., radiative inversion), or when high pressure systems descend into relatively cooler low elevation areas (i.e., subsidence), both of which may occur in the Pittsburgh region.
