Climate refers to the statistical measurement of weather conditions over extended periods of time. The environmental conditions for a given region, such as temperature, pressure, precipitation and humidity are measured. The study of climate and all its diverse aspects is approached from a branch of atmospheric science called climatology. The climate of a region is formed by the five chief components namely, the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, lithosphere and the cryosphere. Other factors determining the climatic condition of a region are its latitude, altitude, terrain and its physical geography. Various climate models, which are based on mathematical formulations of past, present and future climates are proposed for the study of climates. This textbook is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in the field of climatology. It aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of climatology. It will serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
