Astrometeorology
Definition
A historical and speculative branch at the border between astronomy and meteorology that attempts to establish terrestrial weather forecasts based on the positions, configurations, and movements of celestial bodies. In the modern era, the term is used in a strict scientific sense to describe the study of solar activity influence (such as coronal mass ejections) on the Earth's atmosphere, but historically it designated a divinatory practice closely linked to ephemerides.
