Climate science, is the study of the Earth's weather patterns and the systems that cause them.
From the ocean oscillations to trade winds, pressure systems that drives temperature, airborne particles
that influence local conditions and even the phases of the moon and Earth's wobble all affect the climate.

Howard’s contributions to meteorology over half a century were profound. He had not limited himself to clouds but had looked at radiation, urban heat islands and wind flow. Fifty years before, at a lecture in Tottenham, he had even suggested that the rotation of the earth might deflect winds off course. He had explained to an audience that as the air travels north or south the earth is forever ‘slipping away under it’. Peter Moore, The Weather Experiment, Chatto and Windus, 2015 |
Gathering Clouds
250 years ago meteorologist Luke Howard was born, to mark the occasion the Science Museum is looking back at Howard’s pioneering role in climate studies. Today we still use his classification of clouds and the human impact on the climate presents one of our most important and urgent challenges. Read here |
