[edit] Organizational problems

This category is in need of attention. See talk page for a characterisation of the experienced problems. When there is consensus that the problems mentioned on the talk page have been resolved, this notice can be removed.

This template should only be used on category pages.

Currently, this category is used largely synonymous with Category:Weather. Also some overlap with Category:Atmosphere. How about the following structure:

[edit] 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
  • ...

[edit] 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
