Earth rainfall climatology Earth rainfall climatology Earth rainfall climatology Is the study of rainfall, a sub-field of Meteorology. Formally, a wider study includes water falling as ice crystals, i.e. hail, sleet, snow (parts of the hydrological cycle known as precipitation). The aim of rainfall climatology is to measure, understand and predict rain distribution across different regions of planet Earth, a factor of air pressure, humidity, topography, cloud type and raindrop size, via direct measurement and remote sensing data acquisition. Current technologies accurately predict rainfall 3–4 days in advance using numerical weather prediction. Geostationary orbiting satellites gather IR and visual wavelength data to measure
What Have They Done to the Rain What Have They Done to the Rain "What Have They Done to the Rain" is a song by Malvina Reynolds. Composed in 1962 and first entitled "Rain Song", it was written as part of a campaign to stop nuclear testing in the atmosphere, which was producing fall-out. The song was recorded by The Searchers, reaching number 29 on the U.S. charts and number 13 in the UK in 1965. It has been recorded by many other artists including Esther & Abi Ofarim (1965), who also recorded a version in French 'Tout est étrange sous la pluie' the same year. The
