TeachMeFinance.com - explain Climate Climate The term 'Climate' as it applies to the area of carbon dioxide can be defined as ' The statistical collection and representation of the weather conditions for a specified area during a specified time interval, usually decades, together with a description of the state of the external system or boundary conditions. The properties that characterize the climate are thermal (temperatures of the surface air, water, land, and ice), kinetic (wind and ocean currents, together with associated vertical motions and the motions of air masses, aqueous humidity, cloudiness and cloud water content, groundwater, lake lands, and water content of snow on land and sea ice), and static (pressure and density of the atmosphere and ocean, composition of the dry air, salinity of the oceans, and the geometric boundaries and physical constants of the system). These properties are interconnected by the various physical processes such as precipitation, evaporation, infrared radiation, convection, advection, and turbulence'. The term 'Climate' as it applies to the area of the environment can be defined as 'Climate in a narrow sense is usually defined as the 'average weather,' or more rigorously, as the statistical description in terms of the mean and variability of relevant quantities over a period of time ranging from months to thousands of years. The classical period is 3 decades, as defined by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). These quantities are most often surface variables such as temperature, precipitation, and wind. Climate in a wider sense is the state, including a statistical description, of the climate system. '. The term 'Climate' as it applies to the area of the weather can be defined as ' The composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a region, throughout the year, averaged over a series of years'. The term 'Climate' as it applies to the area of reclamation can be defined as ' Average conditions of the weather over a number of years. See macroclimate and microclimate'.
