Study Notes
Understanding Climate
- Climate refers to the long-term patterns and averages of temperature, humidity, precipitation, and other atmospheric conditions in a specific region over an extended period, typically 30 years or longer.
Elements of Weather and Climate
- Key elements of weather and climate include temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind, humidity, and precipitation. These elements interact to define the overall condition of the atmosphere.
Distinction Between Weather and Climate
- Weather describes the short-term variations in atmospheric conditions, such as daily temperature and precipitation, while climate encompasses the long-term averages and trends of these elements over a defined period.
Duration for Climate Study
- The study of climate generally requires a duration of at least 30 years to establish reliable trends and averages that represent the typical conditions in a region.
Collective Representation
- Temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind, humidity, and precipitation collectively represent the principal components that define both weather and climate systems.
