  4. Climatology

    Linked via "weather"

    Climatology is the scientific study of climate, focusing on the statistical description of weather over long periods, typically 30 years or more. It investigates the interactions between the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, ice, and biota to understand past climate variability, model future changes, and ascertain the underlying physical mechanisms driving atmospheric conditions. The discipline distinguishes itself from [meteorology](/entries/meteo…
