Climate Science Research

In my initial research, I focused on mostly definitions and models of things that I didn't understand or didn't know. From Estimating Weather and Climate Predictability on Attractors, I learned what predictability means in climate, and from the same website and, Climate Predictability Tool, I learned what tools and techniques are used to control and study the weather. I found a lot about the weather patterns and the definition of an actual climate on Dictionary.com, and GPS Media. I now know that weather can be predicted up to two weeks in advance, and it's usually dependent on El Nino -which can be predicted up to six months in advance- and the oceans waves and currents. I found it most interesting that meteorologists actually use these tools and measure the atmospheric pressure, just to calculate a simple seven-day forecast. I had no idea meteorologists did so much work and that there was so much behind predicting the weather, even NASA can predict the weather by the way the Earth orbits!
I plan to continue to research and read about the specific techniques and tools that meteorologists use to predict the climate. As well as that, I'd like to focus on the different tools used in the different cultures and countries of the world, not just in America. I'd like to know how the different areas experience climate and how they are able to predict the climate from places surrounded by oceans, which are more likely to have a spontaneous climate, than those that are surrounded by land, which are more likely to have a stable climate. I feel as if I've answered a lot of my own questions already, but I'd like to look into a broader area to see if there's a change in the climate.
