Tropical meteorology is a branch of meteorology that focuses on studying weather patterns and phenomena in tropical regions, particularly in the tropics. This includes understanding the behavior of tropical cyclones, monsoons, and other tropical weather systems. Researchers in this field study how these weather events develop, evolve, and impact the climate and ecosystems in tropical regions. Understanding tropical meteorology is crucial for predicting and preparing for extreme weather events that can have significant impacts on human populations, agriculture, and infrastructure in these regions.
