Astronomy Comes to the Observer, Meteorology Must be Pursued
The astronomer is, in some measure, independent of his fellow astronomer; he can wait in his observatory till the star he wishes to observe comes to his meridian; but the meteorologist has his observations bounded by a very limited horizon, and can do little without the aid of numerous observers furnishing him contemporaneous observations over a wide-extended area.
Notes:
It requires collaboration with many observers around a large area of land.
