[title class="title1"]Overview of Meteorology in the Pacific[/title]
Meteorology is the scientific study of the weather and climate based on physics, mathematics and chemistry. It supports the operational delivery of weather and climate services that inform decisions in such fields as aviation, marine transport, public health, agriculture and food security, integrated coastal management, water resources, disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. National Meteorological Services (NMSs) work around the clock to provide vital weather and climate information.
