Category talk:Meteorology

message: 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
** ...
===Plan B===
* :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
*** ...
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?

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
