Nephology (from the Greek word nephos for 'cloud') is the study of clouds and cloud formation. British meteoroligist Luke Howard was a major researcher within this field, establishing a classification system for clouds.
While this branch of meteorology still exists today, the term nephology, or nephologist is rarely used. The term came into use at the end of the nineteenth century, and fell out of common use by the middle of the twentieth.
