Around 340 BC, Greek philosopher Aristotle wrote "Meteorologica", a work which represented the sum of knowledge of the time about natural science, including weather and climate. For the first time, precipitation and the clouds from which precipitation fell were called meteors, which originate from the Greek word "meteoros", meaning 'high in the sky'. From that word came the modern term meteorology, the study of clouds and weather. "Meteorologica" was based on intuition and simple observation, but not on what is now considered the scientific method. Nevertheless, it was the first known work that attempted to treat a broad range of meteorological topics in a systematic way, especially the hydrological cycle.
