ABSTRACT
Geography shares a common frontier with meteorology in the broad territory of climatology. It would be an exaggeration to say that this has led to conflicts between geographers and meteorologists, but there is no doubt that the exact position of the boundary between them is poorly defined. The geographer tends to keep as far away as possible from meteorology, which deals too much in terms of mathematics and physics for his comfort. The meteorologist, on the other hand, is normally a specialist in mathematical physics with very little training in the basic facts of physical geography. With both parties tending to shun one another it is little wonder that their mutual boundary is ill-defined.
