Dynamical meteorology

Dynamical meteorology, the study of the motion of the atmosphere and the forces behind them, continues to be driven by the fundamental need to make ever more accurate weather forecasts. These motions span from the global circulation, to synoptic weather patterns and tropical cyclones and down to the smaller motions of isolated storms, sea breezes and turbulence.
