The study of weather is called meteorology. A person who studies weather is called a meteorologist. Meteorologists use many different types of equipment to study the weather and climate. Examples of the equipment used are thermometers, barometers, anemometers, hygrometers, satellites and Doppler Radar. The study of weather helps us understand changes in our climate, predict dangerous storms and other deadly weather events.
