Climate Factors

Climate Factors
• Distance from the sea
• Ocean currents
• Prevailing winds
• Relief (the lay of the land, including altitude)
• Proximity to the equator (how near or far)
• El Niño
• Human activity
Distance from the sea
Areas that are
landlocked (not near
the sea) have greater
seasonal temperature
changes.
Picture courtesy of Creative Commons
Areas near the sea
Temperatures in coastal
areas are somewhat
regulated by the
temperatures of the
ocean near there.

Ocean Currents
Ocean currents balance the
temperature of the ocean and the
bringing forth of nutrients to the
surface. When the colder currents
from the north and the warmer
currents from the south meet, they
formulate the temperature for the
area.
Coastal Studies Institute- North Carolina Coastal
Ocean Observing ...
csi.northcarolina.edu
Prevailing Winds
They can push warm or
cold winds into certain
currents and can move
storms to a different
location.
Transport Climatology
capita.wustl.edu
Relief (landforms)
The mountainous
regions, which have
higher altitudes, are
naturally colder
while the lower
regions, like beaches,
aren’t
nearly as cold.
www.weather.gov
Proximity* to the
Equator
* (How close or far away)
The climate is
affected by how
close one is to the
equator. The
closer one is to
the equator the
warmer it will be.

What are El Niño and
La Niña?

El Niño and La Niña
are complex weather
patterns resulting
from variations in
ocean temperatures in
the Equatorial Pacific.
What are El Niño and La Niña?

html
El Niño
El Niño affects mainly
Australia and South
America. In Australia, it
results in draught and a
dry season. In South
America, it results in
surplus rain.
http://www.gma.org/surfing/weather/elnino.html
Human Activity
Urban heat islands are common
is developed areas.
Deforestation changes the
climate of rainforests through
desertification.
Overuse/overgrazing of
grasslands can also lead to
desertification. Burning of
fossil fuels and deforestation
can increase CO2 in the
atmosphere, causing global
warming.
Are Humans Really Affecting the Climate?

Mexico’s seven climate regions
• Climatologists have developed several scientific systems to classify
climates. The system developed by Wladimir Köppen in the early 20th
century is one of the earliest and best known..
• Given that Mexico has many mountains with rapid changes in elevation,
temperature and rainfall, applying the Köppen system, even as modified by
García, to Mexico can become extremely complicated. A relatively small
area of Mexico may include several Köppen climate categories. Aggregating
these areas provides a less complicated, more understandable, picture of
Mexico’s climates (see map). In this scheme, Mexico has seven main
climate regions, as shown on the map:

Some Climate Factors

  • 2. Picture courtesy of Creative Commons
  • 3. Climate Factors • Distance from the sea • Ocean currents • Prevailing winds • Relief (the lay of the land, including altitude) • Proximity to the equator (how near or far) • El Niño • Human activity
  • 4. Distance from the sea Areas that are landlocked (not near the sea) have greater seasonal temperature changes. Picture courtesy of Creative Commons
  • 5. Areas near the sea Temperatures in coastal areas are somewhat regulated by the temperatures of the ocean near there. Big Waves on East Coast, Outer Banks Overwash - The WeatherMatrix Blog Weather Blog www.accuweather.com1280 × 1024
  • 6. Ocean Currents Ocean currents balance the temperature of the ocean and the bringing forth of nutrients to the surface. When the colder currents from the north and the warmer currents from the south meet, they formulate the temperature for the area. Coastal Studies Institute- North Carolina Coastal Ocean Observing ... csi.northcarolina.edu
  • 7. Prevailing Winds They can push warm or cold winds into certain currents and can move storms to a different location. Transport Climatology capita.wustl.edu
  • 8. Relief (landforms) The mountainous regions, which have higher altitudes, are naturally colder while the lower regions, like beaches, aren’t nearly as cold. www.weather.gov
  • 9. Proximity* to the Equator * (How close or far away) The climate is affected by how close one is to the equator. The closer one is to the equator the warmer it will be. en.wikipedia.org

What are El Niño and La Niña? <div class="video-container" id="iframe"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://oceantoday.noaa.gov/elninolanina/embed.html" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> • http://oceantoday.noaa.gov/elninolanina/welcome.html El Niño and La Niña are complex weather patterns resulting from variations in ocean temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific.

  • 11. El Niño El Niño affects mainly Australia and South America. In Australia, it results in draught and a dry season. In South America, it results in surplus rain. http://www.gma.org/surfing/weather/elnino.html
  • 12. Human Activity Urban heat islands are common is developed areas. Deforestation changes the climate of rainforests through desertification. Overuse/overgrazing of grasslands can also lead to desertification. Burning of fossil fuels and deforestation can increase CO2 in the atmosphere, causing global warming.

  • 14. Mexico’s seven climate regions • Climatologists have developed several scientific systems to classify climates. The system developed by Wladimir Köppen in the early 20th century is one of the earliest and best known.. • Given that Mexico has many mountains with rapid changes in elevation, temperature and rainfall, applying the Köppen system, even as modified by García, to Mexico can become extremely complicated. A relatively small area of Mexico may include several Köppen climate categories. Aggregating these areas provides a less complicated, more understandable, picture of Mexico’s climates (see map). In this scheme, Mexico has seven main climate regions, as shown on the map: • Excerpts from Geo-Mexico Add comments • Aug 15, 2013
