Definition

A climate concept defining longer-term patterns, variability, and drivers of atmospheric and oceanic conditions. It governs statistics of weather, large-scale circulation, and energy and moisture budgets over extended periods. It does not provide exact event timing and must be expressed with uncertainty and scenario assumptions.
