climatology, branch of the atmospheric sciences concerned with both the description of climate and the analysis of the causes of climatic differences and changes and their practical consequences.
Climatology is the study of the atmosphere and weather patterns over time. This field of science focuses on recording and analyzing weather patterns throughout the world and understanding the atmospheric conditions that cause them.
Climatology includes some aspects of oceanography and biogeochemistry. The main methods employed by climatologists are the analysis of observations and modelling of the physical processes that determine climate.
Climatology, or sometimes known as climate science, is the study of the Earth’s weather patterns and the systems that cause them. Climatologists today are almost universally directing their efforts towards understanding, explaining and attempting to do something about global warming.
Climate, conditions of the atmosphere at a particular location over a long period of time; it is the long-term summation of the atmospheric elements (and their variations) that, over short time periods, constitute weather. These elements are solar radiation, temperature, humidity, precipitation.
Climatology is the scientific study of climate, defined as weather patterns that have been averaged over a given period of time to obtain a consistent pattern of the expected atmospheric conditions.
It covers the physical sciences that build the foundations of our current understanding of global climate change such as radiation, Earth's energy balance, the greenhouse effect and the carbon cycle. Both natural and human causes for climate change are discussed.
Climatology is the scientific study of Earth’s climate, its patterns, variations, causes, and impacts. It involves the analysis of historical and current climate data, as well as the use of climate models, to understand how Earth’s climate has changed over time and how it may change in the future.
NOAA experts provide data, tools, and information to help people understand and prepare for a changing climate.
