Weather and Climate Experiments

Landmark programs and measurements in weather forecasting and climate science, from nineteenth century storm warnings to early numerical forecasts and the long record of carbon dioxide in the air. An experiment belongs here when its cited article describes it as a forecasting or climate measurement program. It excludes studies of the solid Earth, which sit in their own group. Browse By lists these entries together so that a reader can move from one to the next and compare how each is described in the sources of the atlas.
