Meteorology is the scientific study of the atmosphere that explains and predicts atmospheric phenomena. The study of meteorology date back millennia, though significant progress in meteorology did not occur until the 18th century. The 19th century saw modest progress in the field after weather observation networks were formed across broad regions. Prior attempts at prediction of weather depended on historical data. It wasn't until after the elucidation of the laws of physics, and more particularly the development of the computer allowing the automated solution of the great many equations that model the weather in the latter half of the 20th century, that significant breakthroughs in weather forecasting were achieved.
Meteorological phenomena are observable weather events that are explained by the science of meteorology. Meteorological phenomena are described and quantified by the variables of Earth's atmosphere: temperature, air pressure, water vapor, mass flow, and the variations and interactions of those variables, and how they change over time. Different spatial scales are used to describe and predict meteorology on local, regional, and global levels.

Plot: Three unlikely individuals get stuck in an elevator on New Years Eve, just as the clock is about to strike midnight. Missing out on the first hours of 2005, trapped between the fifteenth and sixteenth floors of a prestigious residential building, they pass the time by telling one-another stories, some from their past lives and others completely fictitious.

Plot: In this satire, a British documentary film crew searches to uncover the truth behind why a California yuppie couple's first child was born with a NY accent. Inspired cultural commentary on modern media sensations and the machinations of exploitative reportage.

Plot: Nurtured in the tropical rain forests, drawing energy from the slowly moving seas, severe weather can remind us how fragile our tenantship of this land is. From 'El Nino' in the Pacific to the awesome power of hurricanes, ocean temperature differences feed energy to the atmosphere. On a smaller scale, tornados are born from thunderclouds, with winds of up to 200 miles per hour. And while winter is a wonderland for many, the blizzard can be a killer. Not all weather is sudden; in the Asian continent the monsoon is a welcome feature (unless too soon and too severe, when floods can kill thousands). And elsewhere rain can lead to flash floods and widespread damage. While we cannot (yet) change the weather, we can understand it and prepare for its vagaries.

Plot: Based on a true Military operation by Israeli commandos. An Air France flight is hijacked by the PFLP. The plane has about 100 Jewish passengers. The plane is grounded in Uganda. Israelis would not negotiate. The movie then shows how less than 500 soldiers actually flew so far and rescued the passengers in one of the most successful Military operations in history. The only casualty for Israely soldiers was Lt. Col. Jonathan "Yoni" Netanyahu..
