This is a meta-template used by all of the meteorological info subboxes for Template:Infobox weather event. It is used to standardize all scale-based subboxes. By default, units are metric with the exception of winds and gusts, which are always in knots. This is the case to reflect international usage of knots in measuring wind speeds.
Factors affecting Earth's climate can be broken down into forcings, feedbacks and internal variations. [14]: 7 Four main lines of evidence support the dominant role of human activities in recent climate change: [17]
Climate charts provide an overview of the climate in a particular place. The letters in the top row stand for months: January, February, etc. The bars and numbers convey the following information: The blue bars represent the average amount of precipitation (rain, snow etc.) that falls in each month.
Climate variability is the term to describe variations in the mean state and other characteristics of climate (such as chances or possibility of extreme weather, etc.) "on all spatial and temporal scales beyond that of individual weather events." [27] Some of the variability does not appear to be caused systematically and occurs at random times.
The five components of the climate system all interact. They are the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the cryosphere, the lithosphere and the biosphere. [1]: 1451 Earth's climate system is a complex system with five interacting components: the atmosphere (air), the hydrosphere (water), the cryosphere (ice and permafrost), the lithosphere (earth's upper rocky layer) and the biosphere (living things).
One historical long-term correlation between solar activity and climate change is the 1645–1715 Maunder minimum, a period of little or no sunspot activity which partially overlapped the "Little Ice Age" during which cold weather prevailed in Europe. The Little Ice Age encompassed roughly the 16th to the 19th centuries.
