What was the role of the "Societas Meteorologica Palatina" set up in Germany in 1781?

Player #25874027, cut and paste gone awry?

Player #25874027, Could the last paragraph mean: The Societas Meteorologica Palatina, an early international organization for meteorology established in 1781 in Mannheim, Germany, became defunct in 1795. Before its dissolution, the society made significant contributions to the standardization of meteorological practices, including the formal definition of seasons as three-month groupings based on the Gregorian calendar. This approach has since been widely adopted by professional meteorologists around the world.

That last paragraph makes no sense
