The temporal variations of the atmosphere– ocean system around a mean state. Typically, this term is used for timescales longer than those associated with synoptic weather events (i.e., months to millennia and longer). The term “natural climate variability” is further used to identify climate variations that are not attributable to or influenced by any activity related to humans.

The altitude above which a flat surface (fully exposed to sun, wind, and precipitation) would experience a net accumulation of snow over an extended period of time. Below this altitude ablation would predominate. While this concept is largely theoretical in application, it corresponds closely to the actual firn line of a glacier and to the average summer position of the snow line in mountainous terrain.

A climatic cycle in which the time interval between successive maxima and minima is constant or very nearly constant throughout the record.

Industry:Weather
Variations in the state of the climate system that have little or no organized structure in time and/or space. This can be a relative term, since variations with a small degree of structure may be regarded as noise in one context but not in another.
