https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_seeing depends on cloud cover,
precipitation, temperatures and wind variations up thru the atmospheric layers,
so astronomers had to be local amateur meteorologists, before there were
professional meteorologists using the telegraph to compile observations, study
patterns and systems, draw synoptic maps, and make forecasts, or radiosondes to
report observations at multiple altitudes.
Navies have been deeply involved in weather, mapping, navigational astronomy,
time keeping, and oceanography, and have driven developments across these areas,
e.g. the Admiralty/RN and RGO on time and the longitude; USNO, NOAA, and NASA
appear to cooperate closely and even overlap in some areas.
