Klimaelemte
Klimaelemte is a term used in climate science to describe the fundamental components that characterize a climate system. The term encompasses both observed variables and derived metrics that quantify climate state and its variability across time and space. In practice, Klimaelemte are the building blocks used in climate data analysis, modeling, and reporting.
Common elements include air temperature, precipitation (rain, snow), humidity, wind, and solar radiation, as well as
Measurement relies on a mix of ground stations, weather balloons, buoys, radar, and satellite remote sensing,
In climate modelling, Klimaelemte serve as variables in equations that describe energy and mass exchange in
Because climate exhibits regional diversity and multi-decadal variability, the set and emphasis of Klimaelemte can vary
