Climatology

Chapter 6

Earth‘s Climate

Macroclimate: 2000+ km from differences in net radiation, heat transport by oceans and atmosphere

 → distinguishable through temperature and precipitation

Mesoclimate: 2-2000km, regional climates, influenced by topography

Microclimates: <2km, local climates

In mid and high latitudes, the direction of the slope plays a crucial role for the microclimates
