A strong maritime influence is responsible for the cool summers and mild winters of Cfb climates. These climates occur over much of Northwest Europe, New Zealand, and portions of southeastern South America, southern Africa, and Australia.
Dec 28, 2023 · What does a climograph look like for your location? What variables influence your local climate? In this part of the lab, you will find monthly average precipitation and temperature data for your location (or for a location near you), create a climograph, determine the climate type, and then identify the controls on climate at this location.
The upper-ocean freshening and warming is expected to increase the vertical stratification of water density, which will affect ocean sequestration of greenhouse gases, dissolved oxygen levels, and marine ecosystems. Marine Winds, Storms, and Waves.

Students learn how to construct and interpret climographs and understand how climate differs from weather.
Familiarity with basic mathematics such as calculating means and sums Familiarity with building basic graphs, charts, and tables Familiarity with metric measurement units (temperature and distance)
Step 1. Introduce the similarities and differences between weather and climate. Begin the lesson by asking students the difference between weather and climate. Note their answers on a Venn diagram on the board. Add that both climate and weather are often described with information about temperature and precipitation. Share the following examples: C...
Discuss as a class whether one year of weather data can accurately convey the climate of a specifi location. Have students summarize what they learned. Ask students how missing data and extreme weather events affect a one year climograph.
This activity is part of GLOBE Data Explorations, a collection of activities developed by the UCAR Center for Science Education (scied.ucar.edu), a GLOBE Partner. Activities were reviewed by science educators and staff at GIO and field tested by teachers.
The graph on Student Activity Sheet B will indicate whether students understand the format of a climograph. The answers on Student Activity Sheet C will indicate whether students understand the reason for averaging many years of weather data to understand climate of a location.

You’ll need: three colored pencils (one light color and two darker colors), a ruler, and the graph template below. Make a bar graph below with the monthly precipitation totals that you recorded on Student Activity Sheet A on the graph below. Make each bar the width of the dotted lines and color it in with a light colored pencil. Color the precipita...
average high temperature average low temperature total monthly precipitation How are the graphs similar? How are the graphs different? Make a hypothesis about the biggest difference that you see. Can a one-year climate graph convey the climate of a location?
Jun 15, 2018 · World Climographs. Description: Climographs show the average temperature and precipitation in an area over the course of the year. Websites like climatecharts.net can be used to quickly identify patterns of climate around the world.

A maritime climate is strongly influenced by the nearby sea. Temperatures vary a relatively small amount seasonally and daily. For a location to have a true maritime climate, the winds must most frequently come off the sea. A continental climate is more extreme, with greater temperature differences between day and night and between summer and ...
