	Climatology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Climatology is the study of climate, and is a branch of the atmospheric sciences.
		Climatology considers both past and potential future climate change.
		Phenomena of climatological interest include the atmospheric boundary layer, circulation patterns, heat transfer (radiative, convective and latent), interactions between the atmosphere and the oceans and land surface (particularly vegetation, land use and topography), and the chemical and physical composition of the atmosphere.

	The TAO project: Climatology Information
		The AOI SST climatology is an optimum interpolation analysis of Sea Surface Temperature with an adjusted base period of 1971 to 2000, on a global 1 degree by 1 degree by 1 month grid.
		The Kessler temperature climatology is a 4-D objective analysis of historical XBT and CTD temperatures, which uses estimates of the correlation lengths in longitude, latitude, and time to grid the data.

	Other Forecasting Methods: climatology, analogue and numerical weather prediction
		For example, if you were using the climatology method to predict the weather for New York City on July 4th, you would go through all the weather data that has been recorded for every July 4th and take an average.
		The climatology method only works well when the weather pattern is similar to that expected for the chosen time of year.
		In addition, the beginning forecaster does not have the knowledge to interpret the computer forecast, so the simpler forecasting methods, such as the trends or analogue method, are recommended for the beginner.

	State Climatologist for Ohio
		The State Climatology Office for Ohio strives to acquire, archive, process and disseminate all climate and weather information that is of value to public officials and organizations, corporations, research scientists, and private citizens of the state.

		The climatologies were created using daily averaged SST over monthly and pentad periods for 1985-1997 at 9.28km resolution.
		This climatology has been tested against other SST climatologies using the method described in Casey and Cornillon (1999).
		The Monthly Pathfinder+Erosion SST climatology is essentially as good as the Pentad Pathfinder+Erosion SST climatology, but for some applications there may be a concern that using only monthly SST values could introduce a bias since a monthly mean will always be lower (higher) than the maximum (minimum) SST in the annual cycle.

	Severe Weather Climatology
		A knowledge of this climatology can be used by local forecasters to become familiar with the range of possible atmospheric phenomena associated with current observations.
		Using climatology as a baseline, they can further investigate why various types of severe weather occur with greater (or lesser) frequency, at certain times of the day, or certain seasons of the year.
		A thorough knowledge of local climatology is a very important part of the overall forecast process.
