Meteorology Diploma Level 3

£200.00

Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere, atmospheric phenomena, and atmospheric effects on our weather. The atmosphere is the gaseous layer of the physical environment that surrounds a planet. Earth’s atmosphere is roughly 100 to 125 kilometres (65-75 miles) thick. Gravity keeps the atmosphere from expanding much farther.
