[20] Sunshine ranges from 2000 to 2300 hours, with a notable west–east gradient, the eastern side being more cloudy. [59]
Meteorology is a branch of the atmospheric sciences (which include atmospheric chemistry and physics) with a major focus on weather forecasting.The study of meteorology dates back millennia, though significant progress in meteorology did not begin until the 18th century.
For the lower troposphere, UAH found a global average trend between 1978 and 2019 of 0.130 degrees Celsius per decade. [34] RSS found a trend of 0.148 degrees Celsius per decade, to January 2011. [35] In 2004 scientists found trends of +0.19 degrees Celsius per decade when applied to the RSS dataset. [36]
