This paper presents an assessment of indicators of climate change in Ireland over the past century. Trends are examined in order to determine the magnitude and direction of ongoing climate change. Although detection of a trend is difficult due
to the influence of the North Atlantic Ocean, it is concluded that Irish climate is following similar trajectories to those predicted by global climate models. Climatic variables investigated included the key temperature and precipitation data series from the Irish
synoptic station network. Secondary climate indicators such as frequency of hot and cold days were found to reveal more variable trends.
The multi-annual variability of thermal, solar and cloudiness conditions in Cracow was examined from the point of view of the impact of natural and anthropogenic factors on the climate change. The analysis concerned the annual air temperature range
(RAT) and daily ranges of air temperature (DAT) in january and july. Special attention has been paid to the climatic trends and changes of climatic continuity. Long-term changes of RAT reflect the impact of the circulation factors, these of DAT
Classics in physical geography revisited. Thornthwaite, C.W. 1948: an approach toward a rational classification of climate. The Geographical Review 38, 55-94
Thornthwaite's 1948 climatic classification system was fundamentally different from all its predecessors: climates are defined rationally and boundaries are determined objectively by the meteorological data; vegetation, soils, hydrology, etc
., are then to be determined from the prevailing climatic type.
The atmosphere exchanges heat, moisture and momentum with other climate subsystems. This paper describes some applications of climate models in agriculture and puts forward the argument, that recent climate models are very close to numerical weather
prediction models. The physical parameterization approach implemented first in climate models, is now applied in a useful way to everyday agricultural management.
Le climat de la péninsule armoricaine: conditions générales et sécheresse de 1976

Sur un fond général océanique, le climat armoricain est divisé en quatre sous-climats: le climat océanique typique, le climat océanique dégradé vers la vallée de la Loire, le climat océanique collinéen propre aux reliefs ouest-armoricains, le climat
océanique de type aquitanien dégradé ou climat océanique sec sur le littoral sud-armoricain. La sécheresse de1976 est analysée dans le temps et dans l'espace.
Using mountain regions from around the world, the A. discusses controls of mountain climate and scales of climate features, and evaluates evidence of past climatic conditions.―(DWG)
The article suggests that a multiscalar and interdisciplinary construct is required to analyse climate justice as an appraisal of the distribution of climate finance for adaptation. Current approaches to climate justice lack in empirical research
This paper will present global maps of all 4 components of the 1948 Thornwaite climate classification, a long-time wish of J.R. Mather, to whom this paper is dedicated. In addition, a revised Thornwaite-type climate classification is presented
with the intent of providing a more rational climate classification for everyday use in a classroom setting. This classification uses an amended version of the Thornthwaite moisture index.
Ces relations (climat-latitude et climat-altitude), ainsi que les relations climat-culture (Olivier) et climat-végétation sont étudiées en Grèce. Une classification des montagnes de Grèce est proposée, sur la base des zones de végétation et du

In this paper the nature, state and variability of the climate system are described briefly. Of particular importance in open systems such as components of the climatic system is feedback. Mathematical models provide a new way to not only understand
the climate's behaviour, but also to explore the possibility of future climate developments being predicted.

A partir des données obtenues lors du World Climate Research Programme, on décrit le climat de la Terre et les processus et interactions complexes qui déterminent les changements climatiques. Toutes les variables climatiques: atmosphère, océans
, terre et calottes glaciaires, sont examinées, et un certain nombre de problèmes sont passés en revue, notamment la prévision des changements de climat et l'influence des activités de l'homme sur le climat lui-même.
