It has been suggested that WikiProject Climate be merged into this page. (Discuss) |
This is a WikiProject, an area for focused collaboration among Wikipedians. New participants are welcome; please feel free to participate!
|
Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Meteorology. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.
For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

Title
WikiProject on Meteorology and Weather Events
Scope
The purpose of the Meteorology and Weather Events project is a large-scale initiative that simplifies and standardizes pages for all weather events, improves the information available for past events and works to provide better information for all future events. In addition, the project also improves and simplifies pages for general meteorology.
Weather events include tropical cyclones (covered in a separate project), tornadoes (also covered in a separate project), floods, wind storms, winter storms, droughts, extreme heat/cold and lightning events. Historical events involving or caused by these phenomena may also be included.
Meteorology includes atmospheric and oceanic phenomena, weather observation stations and networks, weather instrumentation and equipment, biographical articles on notable meteorologists, weather research projects, weather prediction and modeling, and phenomena related to every-day weather.
Related topics in climatology, geology and space science may also fall under the scope of this vast project.
Goals
- Standardize all pages for weather events, somewhat modeled after the tropical cyclone pages.
- Improve the pages for weather features and make more real-world examples.
- Learn more for historical weather events, and provide more information for current weather systems.
Each individual event type also forms a subproject. Ultimately this could be a parent of each different project.

Sub-Projects
The project is divided into several subproject sections:
- Forecasting and warnings
- Hurricanes/tropical cyclones (This currently operates as a separate project)
- Non-tropical/winter storms (This is now a descendant project)
- Severe weather (This is now a descendant project)
- Floods
- Droughts and fire events
- Extremes in temperature
- Weather data and instrumentation
- General meteorology (essentially anything which does not fall into above categories)
Currently, all but the tropical cyclone, severe weather, and non-tropical storms projects fall into the scope of the general meteorology project. Our aim for the future is to have some or all of these become descendant, separate Wikiprojects, just as the tropical cyclone and severe weather projects currently are.

Format for articles
- Lead section (with infobox if applicable)
- Main body
- For a weather event, this should include a summary of events leading up to, during, and after the event. It should also emphasize its impact and significance in the time that it occurred.
- For a type of weather, phenomenon, or theory, this should include a history of its observation, a description of the phenomenon, and its significance.
- For weather instrumentation or equipment, this should include a brief history of its invention, along with its applications and uses.
- For a biographical article, this should include a brief overview of the person's life, with an in-depth look at their contributions to meteorology.
- See also
- This should include links (within wikipedia) to related phenomena, events, people, or other articles pertinent to the subject.
- References
- External Links
Note on units: All quantities should be expressed in both imperial units and metric units, regardless of the affected area. The primary measurements used in this project are imperial units, although primary-metric can be used in events that only affect regions that use only the metric system (i.e. Canada, Mexico, most of Europe). For example, to show winds of 50 mph, it should be listed as "50 mph (80 km/h)" in most circumstances. Rounding should be done to reasonable levels.
Note on galleries: It is not desirable to have an image gallery in a main article. However, linking to a gallery on Wikimedia commons using {{commons}} is very helpful. To upload a file to the Commons, click here (you must create/have a commons account to do this). For instructions on creating a commons gallery, see here.
Templates
See also Category:Meteorology templates
Infoboxes
- {{Infobox storm}} for everything that doesn't fit in the specific templates below.
- {{Infobox tornado outbreak}} provides a template for brief information at the top of the page for tornado outbreaks, including the date
- {{Infobox tornado single}} provides the same information for events involving a single tornado
- {{Infobox winter storm}} provides information such as peak intensity and storm types for winter storms
- {{Infobox cyclone}} provides information for cyclones with both a snow storm and tornado outbreak impact
- {{Infobox Cloud}}
Stub templates
- {{Climate-stub}} and the associated stub category Category:Atmospheric science stubs
- This template should be added to the end of stub articles which fall under the category of general meteorology or climatology.
- {{Climate-bio-stub}} and the associated stub category Category:Atmospheric scientist stubs
- This template should be added to the end of stub articles which are biographies of a meteorologist or a climatologist.
- {{Weather-stub}} and the associated stub category Category:Weather event stubs
- This template should be added only to the end of stub articles which describe a specific historical weather event.
Data templates
- {{Tornado Chart}} for tornado events to show the number of tornadoes produced and their intensity
- {{Weather box}} provides a standard template for monthly and yearly temperature (°F & °C) and precipitation (in & cm/mm) averages for a specified location such as a city. Has a provision for referencing the source data and the date acquired. As well as automatic unit conversion, so an editor only needs to enter one set of values (if desired) and the other measurement system's units will be convert to and displayed.
Talk page templates
- One of the following templates should be included at the top of each of the talk pages of articles covered by this wikiproject:
- {{Severe}} for tornadoes and related events
- {{Hurricane}} for hurricanes or tropical cyclones
- {{Non-tropical}} for all extra-tropical storms
- {{Extremes}} for extreme temperatures
- {{Flood}} for flood events
- {{Drought}} for droughts and fire events
- {{Weather-data}} for weather data and instrumentation
- {{Meteorology}} for other articles covered by this Wikiproject which do not fall into the above categories

Classification links
An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Meteorology}} project banner on its talk page: {{WikiProject Meteorology|class=???}}
The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):
FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class meteorology articles) | FA | |
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class meteorology articles) | GA | |
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class meteorology articles) | B | |
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class meteorology articles) | C | |
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class meteorology articles) | Start | |
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class meteorology articles) | Stub |
For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed meteorology articles) | ??? |
An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Meteorology}} project banner on its talk page:
The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (see Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):
Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance meteorology articles) | Top | |

Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance meteorology articles) | Mid | |
Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance meteorology articles) | Low | |
