Category talk:Meteorology

Organizational problems (2006 post)
Currently, this category is used largely synonymous with Category:Weather. Also some overlap with Category:Atmosphere. How about the following structure:

Plan A

 * Category:Atmospheric sciences
 * Category:Atmosphere
 * Category:Weather and meteorology
 * Category:Meteorologists
 * Category:Meteorological concepts
 * Category:Meteorological equipment and Technologies
 * Category:Weather satellites
 * Category:Sounding rockets
 * Category:Winds
 * Category:Climatology
 * Category:Climatologists
 * Category:Climatology
 * Category:Climatologists

Plan B
This plan is flatter and it avoids the need to eventually add categories such as Category:Climatology concepts. (There would be a big overlap.) But would it be accurate enough?
 * Category:Atmospheric sciences
 * Category:Atmosphere
 * Category:Weather and meteorology
 * Category:Meteorologists
 * Category:Winds
 * Category:Climatology
 * Category:Climatologists
 * Category:Atmospheric science concepts
 * Category:Atmospheric science equipment and Technologies
 * Category:Weather satellites
 * Category:Sounding rockets
 * Category:Weather satellites
 * Category:Sounding rockets

If one were to merge all the "science of" categories into the "subject" categories, you'd end up with something like this:


 * Category:Atmosphere
 * Category:Weather
 * Category:Meteorologists
 * Category:Meteorological equipment and technologies
 * Category:Weather satellites
 * Category:Sounding rockets
 * Category:Winds
 * Category:Climate
 * Category:Climatologists
 * Category:Climate
 * Category:Climatologists
