DEFINITION OF CLIMATE AND <strong>CLIMATOLOGY</strong> Climate Climate (from Ancient Greek klima, meaning inclination, or is referring to the supposed slope of the earth and approximating our concept of latitude) is commonly defined as the weather averaged over a long period of time. In other words, climate is the average weather conditions experienced in a particular place over a long period. Worldwide climate classifications
Climate is defined as the collective state of the atmosphere for a given place over a specified interval of time. There are three parts to this definition. The first deals with the state of the atmosphere. The collective state is classified based on some set of statistics. The most common statistic is the mean, or average. Climate descriptions are made from observations of the atmosphere and are described in terms of averages (or norms) and extremes of a variety of weather parameters, including temperature, precipitation, pressure and winds. The second part of the climate definition deals with a location. It could be a climate the size of a cave, vilage, city, country, continent or the world. In weather and climate studies we are most interested in micro-scale, regional, and global climates. The climate of a given place should be defined in terms of your purpose. Time is the final aspect of the definition of climate. A time span is crucial to the description of a climate. Weather and climate both vary with time. Weather changes from day to day. Climate changes over much longer periods of time. Variations in climate are related to shifts in the energy budget and resulting changes in atmospheric circulation patterns.
