Hydrometeorology
Hydrometeorology is the science of studying the transferal dynamics of water and energy on the Earth's surface and lower atmosphere. This interdisciplinary study enriches scientists' understanding of both hydrology and meteorology. Meteorology itself is the study of weather elements in the atmosphere. How water relates to the behavior patterns of the atmosphere requires the consideration of hydrology. Hydrometeorology is important in determining how water conditions will affect the weather and vice-versa.
