Difference between Wether & climate?
- Wether: from day to day (quickly) changing condition of the atmosphere
- climate: average wether over a longer period
eg: Monsoon climate : rainy period = summer
opposit = dry season
Climatic elements/factors:
- temperature
- precipitation
- air pressure
What affects tmeperature:
- altitude (Seehöhe)
- distance from sea (sea has balancing effect, stores heat for longer time)
- distance from equator
Distance from sea:
- landmass: heats up & cools down quickliy
-> hot summers & cold winters
- sea: heats up slowly & stores heat longer
-> cool summers & mild winters (above 0°C)
Austria: westerly wind from atlantic ocean
france -> austria -> Hungary -> Ukraine
decreasing huminity & rainfall
with increasing altitude colder (1,56°C per 100m)
Global zones
polar zone
subpolar zone (eg. north of scandinavian countries)
66° - Arctic Circle (nördl. Polarkreis)
Temperate zone
40°
subtropics
23° - Tropic of cancer
tropics
0° - equator
global zones are reflected on both tropics (tropic of cancer nördl. & tropic of capricorn südlich)
Climate & vegetation from equator to tropic of cancer (Tropics)
tropic of cancer
tropical climate w. 1 short wet season - semi desert (Halbwüste)
tropical climate w. 1 wet season - savanna (Trockensavanne)
tropical climate w. 2 wet seasons - closed savanna (Feuchtsavanne)
equator
equatorial climate - rainforest
Baumriesen
emergents
Baumdecke
canopy
