Weather is basically the way the atmosphere is behaving, mainly with respect to its effects upon lIfe and human activities, The difference between weather and climate is that weather consists of the short-term (minutes to months) changes in the atmosphere. Most people think of weather in terms of temperature, humidity, precipitation, cloudiness, brightnes, visibility, wind, and atmospheric pressure, as in high and low pressure. Weather and climate describe the World outside the window-whether it's hot or cold, humid or dry, sunny or cloudy. Weather is the shortterm conditions present in the moment that let people know what to wear today and whether or not to bring an umbrella. Climate descrbes the long term conditions that let people know what clothes to keep in their wardrobe alyear long and whether they need to own snow boots, flip flops or both. The reason studying climate and a changing climate is important, is that will affect people around the world. Rising global temperatures are expected to raise sea levels, and change precipitation and other local climate conditions. Changing regional climate could alter forests, crop yields, and water supplies. It could also affect human health, animals, and many types of ecosystems. Deserts may expand into existing rangelands, and features of some of our National Parks and National Forests may be permanently altered. The presented book comprises an elaborative description of several kinds of moderm methods of teaching of climatology. The bookis of greater value for the students, teachers and researchers.
