the thermometer, in the form in which it is known today by Celsius (A. Celcius) in 1742.

At the same time, all fundamental natural laws that are directly or indirectly involved in the natural processes taking place in the atmosphere have gradually begun to take place, so that the last ones can be explored.

However, the evolution of Meteorology, even after the 18th century. continued with a steady but relatively slow pace. At the same time in the 18th and 19th centuries. , many attempts have been made to provide a theoretical explanation of some basic characteristics of atmospheric behavior, such as the general circulation of the atmosphere by J. Handley in 1735, and W. Ferrel in 1856, the barometric low movement by W. Redfield and W.Reid (1840), the role of latent heat in the creation of the storms by J. Espy, at about the same time, etc. .

An important milestone in the evolution of Meteorology was the mapping of the first weather maps in 1820 by G. Brandes. From these maps, for the first time, the existence of barometric systems on the surface was evident in practice. From 1855 onwards, the first Meteorological services in the world began to be established. The French Meteorological Service was founded first, based in the Observatory of Paris and director U. Leverrier, followed immediately by the establishment of US meteorological services. , England, and the Netherlands.

The creation of meteorological services in the rest of western and central European countries continued in the coming decades. A series of international conferences having as goal the corporation between countries' Meteorological services, in Vienna in 1873, in Russia in 1874, in Munich in 1891 and in Paris in 1896, where all the necessary specifications were established, in the preparation of weather maps. In 1878 the International Meteorological Organization was created , which since 1950 has been renamed to << World Meteorological Organization >> (W.M.O.).

SECTORS OF METEOROLOGY

• Physical Meteorology. Studies the physical structure and chemical composition of the atmosphere, the spread of electromagnetic radiation (solar radiation, radio waves, etc.) as well as the acoustic waves in the atmosphere, the natural processes involved in the formation of clouds and sky in general and, finally, a wide range of topics related to certain physical and chemical processes that take place in the atmosphere.
• Dynamic Meteorology. Studies the development and timing of atmospheric movements and their behavior through mathematical analysis using natural laws governing fluid movement.
• Synoptical Meteorology. Deals with the description, analysis and prognosis, based on empirical methods, of large (concise) scale atmospheric movements. In recent decades, with the evolution of physical atmospheric simulation models and the constant improvement of their predictive potential, Synoptical Meteorology has gradually begun to be subtracted from the numerical weather forecast.
• Agricultural Meteorology. Examines the effect of weather conditions on the growth of plants mainly on agricultural crops, special forecasts are issued for growers to take preventive protective measures
• Biometeorology. Studies the impact of weather conditions on humans
•  Aeronautical Meteorology (Naval and Air). Studies the conditions affecting aeronautical transport
• Radio Meteorology. Studies the effect of various natural atmospheric processes on wireless telecommunications
