Weather and Climate (Enhanced DVD)
Customer Reviews
In order to predict the weather and understand how climates work, researchers rely on environmental science, mathematics, physics, and information technology. These sciences are used to interpret vast amounts of terrestrial, atmospheric, and oceanic data.
This program introduces the sciences of climatology and meteorology. It explains how scientific tools work such as anemometers, weather radar, satellites, and barometers. The program also explains how the clouds, wind and the sun interact to create different types of weather. The depletion of the ozone layer is discussed along with natural disaster tracking. Filmed with the assistance of the Bureau of Meteorology in Australia. (29 minutes)
Segments in this video include:
Significance of Weather – The introduction focuses on the importance of weather to humans and how weather affects human activity.
Weather: In the Beginning – Weather plays a huge rule in how the world is shaped. Humans have attempted to predict and understand weather for a long time.
What is Weather and How is it Measured? – Weather shows the daily changes in temperature, atmospheric pressure, and much more. A wide range of different tools are used to measure weather.
How Do We Forecast the Weather? - Meteorology is the prediction of weather. Oceanic, terrestrial, and atmospheric data are collected by satellites and fed into computers that analyze the data in order to predict weather.
Weather Warnings and Natural Disasters – People must be warned about severe weather such as bush fires, tsunamis and cyclones. Meteorologists used sophisticated equipment to predict weather changes and issue warnings for the safety of the public.
Global Climate – High tech equipment is used to measure the levels of ozone in the atmosphere. A global fleet of profiling floats observes signals related to climate change.
