Jesuits began meteorological observations in the eighteenth century. In the modern observatories meteorology was an important part. Such was the case, for example, in Roman College, Stonyhurst, Saint Louis (Missouri) and Santa Clara (California). Viñes in Havana studied Caribbean hurricanes and proposed some early laws of their trajectories. He was the first to forecast with time the arrival of hurricanes. In Manila Faura and Algué studied the nature of typhoons. Deppermann applied frontology ideas to the formation and circulation of typhoons. Jesuits in Zikawei studied and forecasted the cyclones in the coast of China. Dechevrens, Froc and Gherzi excelled in this work and proposed models of their structure In Madagascar they were in charge of forecasting the arrival of Indian Ocean cyclones.
