study of the atmosphere. Studies in the field
stretch back millennia, though significant
progress in meteorology did not occur until the
18th century. The 19th century saw modest
progress in the field after observing networks
formed across several countries. It wasn't until
after the development of the computer in the
latter half of the 20th century that significant
breakthroughs in weather forecasting were
achieved.
