ABSTRACT
The dynamic linkages of the Earth-atmosphere system dictate the general atmospheric conditions or climate over a region. Climate is a direct response to the complex interactions of energy, mass, and momentum between the atmosphere and the other major Earth subsystems, the hydrosphere (water), biosphere (living organisms), and the lithosphere (land).[2] Several physical and geographical components of these subsystems combine to control the climate system. Global climate types and patterns are governed by features such as latitude, semipermanent pressure systems, water proximity, oceanic circulation, and local topography.
