Climate Controls

what are the major climate elements and major climate controls?

1. The most important elements in climate descriptions are temperature and precipitation in as much as they have the greatest influence on people and their activities and also have as important impact on the distribution of vegetation and the development of soils.
Over historic time spans there are a number of static variables that determine climate, including: latitude, altitude, proportion of land to water, and proximity to oceans and mountains. Other climate determinants are more dynamic: The thermohaline circulation of the ocean distributes heat energy between the equatorial and polar regions; other ocean currents do the same between land and water on a more regional scale.

2. The world's climate pattern reflects a regular and dependable operation of the major climate controls.
The major controls of climate are:
(1) latitude(variations in the receipt of solar energy and temperature differences are largely a function of latitude),
(2) land/water influence(marine climates are generally mild, while continental climatesare typically much more extreme),
(3) geographic position and prevailing winds(the moderating effect of water is more pronounced along the windward side of a continent),
(4) mountains and highlands(mountain barriers prevent maritime air masses from reaching far inland, trigger orographic rainfall, and where they are extensive, create their own climatic regions),
(5) ocean currents(poleward-moving currents cause air temperatures to be warmer than would be expected), and
(6) pressure and wind systems(the world distribution of precipitation is closely related to the distribution of Earth's major pressure and wind systems).
