Climatic Variations and Variability: Facts and Theories

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((ASIC,volume 72))

Abstract

Theories and speculations on the nature of climate and climate variability cover a wide range, but there exists general agreement that the climatic system represents a complex structure of coupled subsystems — generally divided broadly into the atmosphere, oceans, cryosphere and biosphere — of which each component represents a detailed discipline in its own right, and which interact across a wide spectrum of space and time scales in a complicated manner which ultimately determines the dynamics of the complete system [20].
