Climatology & Weather Forecasting Importance

Climatology has evolved along with our ability to observe and measure the system’s elements including basic temperature and precipitation, cloud types, atmospheric humidity, wind speed and velocity, barometric pressure, soil moisture, and many more. Presently, scientists monitor weather and climate using a combination of instruments that make surface-based and upper-air (i.e., radiosondes or rawindsones) observations at various locations, and satellites that monitor wide geographic areas. Throughout most of history, forecasting efforts at any given site depended solely on observations that could be made at that site. Observations of sky, wind, and temperature conditions and a knowledge of local climate history permitted a limited predictive ability. Weather lore was also accumulated in an effort to codify apparent patterns in the behavior of the atmosphere. The information can be published in our peer reviewed journal with impact factors and are calculated using citations not only from research articles but also review articles (which tend to receive more citations), editorials, letters, meeting abstracts, short communications, and case reports. The inclusion of these publications provides the opportunity for editors and publishers to manipulate the ratio used to calculate the impact factor and try to increase their number rapidly. Impact factor plays a major role for the particular journal. Journal with higher impact factor is considered to be more important than other ones.
