"Climatology (from Greek κλίμα, klima, 'slope'; and -λογία, -logia) or climate science is the scientific study of Earth's climate, typically defined as weather conditions averaged over a period of at least 30 years."
It is the study of the Earth's climate and how it changes over time.
Greenhouse Gases: The role of various gases in trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere and their impact on global temperature.
Climate Change: The study of long-term shifts in weather patterns, average temperatures, and other climatic variables.
Weather Patterns: Understanding short-term changes in atmospheric conditions and their impact on day-to-day weather.
Climate Modeling: Computer modeling of climate systems to forecast future climate trends and the impact of human activity on the climate.
Earth System Science: The study of the interactions between the Earth's atmosphere, oceans, land, and biosphere, and how they affect the planet's climate.
Carbon Cycle: The natural process by which carbon dioxide is exchanged between the atmosphere, oceans, land, and living organisms.
Paleoclimatology: The study of past climate conditions and how they have changed over time.
Anthropogenic Climate Change: The study of the impact of human activity (e.g., burning fossil fuels, deforestation) on the Earth's climate.
Renewable Energy: Alternative energy sources that do not contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, such as solar, wind, and hydro power.
Climate Policy: The development and implementation of policies aimed at mitigating climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Ozone Depletion: The thinning of the ozone layer in the Earth's upper atmosphere and its impact on climate and human health.
Climate Adaptation: Strategies for adapting to the impacts of climate change, such as sea level rise, drought, and extreme weather events.
Climate Mitigation: Techniques for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and slowing the pace of climate change.
Atmosphere: The layer of gas that surrounds the Earth, composed primarily of nitrogen, oxygen, and trace amounts of other gases.
Global Warming: The gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere, primarily due to the release of greenhouse gases.
Atmospheric Science: This branch of climate science deals with the study of the Earth's atmosphere and its physical and chemical properties.
Oceanography: This branch of climate science is the study of physical, chemical, and biological aspects of the ocean, including ocean currents and marine life.
Geology: This branch of climate science deals with the study of the Earth's structure, the geologic processes, and changes in climate that occur over long periods.
Paleoclimatology: This branch of climate science involves the study of climates in the past to understand the natural variability and long-term shifts that have occurred.
Glaciology: This branch of climate science is the study of glaciers, their properties, and the impact that they have on the earth's climate.
Biogeochemistry: This branch of climate science deals with the study of the chemical, physical, and biological processes that affect the interaction between the earth's environment and living organisms.
Climatology: This branch of climate science focuses on the long-term study of the earth's climate, including its changes over time, regional differences, and the effects of human activities.
Environmental Science: This branch of climate science combines elements of biology, chemistry, and physics, with a focus on understanding how humans impact the environment and how to reduce environmental damage.
Earth System Science: This branch of climate science integrates all the above sciences to understand the complex interactions between the Earth's various systems (atmosphere, oceans, land, and living organisms).
"Climate concerns the atmospheric condition during an extended to indefinite period of time; weather is the condition of the atmosphere during a relative brief period of time."
"The main topics of research are the study of climate variability, mechanisms of climate changes, and modern climate change."
"This topic of study is regarded as part of the atmospheric sciences and a subdivision of physical geography, which is one of the Earth sciences."
"Climatology includes some aspects of oceanography and biogeochemistry."
"The main methods employed by climatologists are the analysis of observations and modeling of the physical processes that determine climate."
"Short-term weather forecasting can be interpreted in terms of knowledge of longer-term phenomena of climate, for instance climatic cycles such as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO), the North Atlantic oscillation (NAO), the Arctic oscillation (AO), the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO), and the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO)."
"Climate models are used for a variety of purposes from studying the dynamics of the weather and climate system to predictions of future climate."
"Weather conditions are averaged over a period of at least 30 years."
