The De philosophia mundi is divided into four books, covering physics, astronomy, geography, meteorology and medicine.

He made no contributions to the theory of meteorology which is perhaps surprising given his training in physics.

Numerical Weather Prediction is a main focus in understanding air – sea interaction, tropical meteorology, atmospheric predictability, and tropospheric / stratospheric processes.

Boundary layer meteorology is the study of processes in the air layer directly above earth's surface, known as the atmospheric boundary layer ( ABL ).

Aviation meteorology deals with the impact of weather on air traffic management.

Maritime meteorology deals with air and wave forecasts for ships operating at sea.

Fronts in meteorology are the leading edges of air masses with different density ( e. g., air temperature and / or humidity ).

Doppler radars are used in aviation, sounding satellites, meteorology, police speed guns, radiology, and bistatic radar ( surface to air missile ).

In meteorology, the Coandă effect theory has also been applied to some air streams flowing out of mountain ranges such as the Carpathian Mountains and Transylvanian Alps, where effects on agriculture and vegetation have been noted.

The quantity was named by Harald Sverdrup after Ira Sprague Bowen ( 1898 – 1973 ), an astrophysicist whose theoretical work on evaporation to air from water bodies made first use of it, and it is used most commonly in meteorology and hydrology.
