Scientific study of the Earth's climate over long time spans (greater than several days) May also involve the investigation of climate's effect on life and the abiotic environment
The science of how the Earth’s temperature and weather patterns are created and changed
Also known as Climate Normals and Long-Term Average A long period of time, generally a recent period 30 years long, that meteorologists use to describe the average climate of a region Meteorologists use the climatology to define climate anomalies (see definition) Example: The average September to December rainfall in Entebbe from 1961 to 1990 was 490mm
The study of the climate, how the earth's atmosphere performs over long periods of time
The historical records of weather conditions measured or observed at a specific location is knows as climatology Some data go back over 100 but generally a 10- to 25-year history is more common Climatology is useful in planning operations beyond 5 to 7 days It usually describes the average (or mean) conditions such as high and low temperatures and extremes
(1) The description and scientific study of climate (2) A quantitative description of climate showing the characteristic values of climate variables over a region
the scientific study of climate. Branch of atmospheric science concerned with describing climate and analyzing the causes and practical consequences of climatic differences and changes. Climatology treats the same atmospheric processes as meteorology, but it also seeks to identify slower-acting influences and longer-term changes, including the circulation of the oceans, the concentrations of atmospheric gases, and the small but measurable variations in the intensity of solar radiation
A 30-year average of hourly or daily meteorological observations The average of the 30-year mean for 90 or so adjacent days, generally three consecutive calendar months, is the climatology of concern in our seasonal outlooks It is this climatology which is removed from the forecasts and observations to produce the anomalies which we are really interested in
The study of climate Includes climatic data, the analysis of the causes of the differences in climate, and the application of climatic data to the solution of specific design or operational problems
