From wikipedia [quote]The word "meteorology" is from Greek μετέωρος metéōros "lofty; high (in the sky)" (from μετα- meta- "above" and ἀείρω aeiro "I lift up") and -λογία -logia "-(o)logy", i.e. "the study of things in the air".[/quote] [quote] Meteorology is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the atmosphere.
