nephology - n., the study of clouds and cloud formation.
An outdated term, having been commonly used in the 19th century but falling out of use by the mid-20th century. Clouds are still studied, of course, but those who do so are no longer called nephologists, alas. Coined from Greek roots: nephos, cloud + -ology.
