		Atmospheric pressure at the Earth's surface is one of the keys to weather, which is one reason weather maps feature H's and L's, representing areas of high and low air pressure.
		This is why high pressure is generally — but not quite always — associated with good weather.
		High and low pressure areas are important because they affect the weather.

		The weather systems feature of APRS allows you to see various weather information in real time which is transmitted by stations with a Peet Bros. or Davis Weather Station.
		Many of you have heard about a packet radio program called The Automatic Position Reporting System, (also called APRS.) It's a system which, unlike PBBS's, nodes and DX clusters, uses an unconnected protocol to transmit your exact position, a symbol denoting the type of station you're running and a brief comment about it.
		Depending on which version of APRS you're using and the options the weather station has, you can get different kinds of information including temperature, rainfall amounts (to the 1/100 inch) in the past hour and 24 hour periods, wind speed, direction and gusts and barometric pressure.

	Defense Tech: Air Force Aims for Weather Control
		The hydrological system is a major player in the weather system because 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by water.
		This phenomenom would most probably be utilized as a way to greatly reduce the likelihood of severe convective weather, which may (and has on many occasions!) caused multi-million damage to DoD facilities.
		Unfortunately, it is also very easy to get snubbed and shouted down if you try to point out any other means of weather variation.

	Comments on: The theory of the quantum fish
		But quantum theory takes it a step further I think: not only is the weather system hypersensitive to initial conditions, you couldn't even replicate those conditions if you wanted to.
		But quantum theory takes it a step further I think: not only is the weather system hypersensitive to initial conditions, you couldn’t even replicate those conditions if you wanted to.
		The weather system is so sensitive to initial conditions that the effect of the butterfly can make a significant difference later on.
