Meteorology and climatology

This modern climatology textbook explains those climates formed near the ground in terms of the cycling of energy and mass through systems.

Climate may be defined as the synthesis of long-term atmospheric conditions characteristic of a particular place.

Both hydrologists and meteorologists need to speak a common scientific language, and this has given rise to the new scientific discipline of hydrometeorology, which deals with the transfer of water and energy across the land/atmosphere interface.
