Weather
Whether can be defined as the atmospheric condition at a given place and at a given time
Climate
Climate can be defined as the sum of the weather condition of a large area over a long time around 30 years
Climate of India is described as of monsoon type derived from an Arabic word Mausam monsoon refers to the seasonal reversal in the wind direction throughout the year
Coriolis force
The Apparent force caused by the earth's relation the coriolis force is responsible of deflection winds towards the right in the Northern hemisphere and toward the left in the southern hemisphere this is also known as ferrules law
Differentiate between weather and climate
Weather
It refers to the short atmospheric condition that exist for a given time
Weather refers to a particular place
Weather may change at a very short interval of time
Weather is influenced by any one of its predominant elements that is temperature humidity etc
Climate
Climate is the aggregate of day today weather condition over a long period of time
Climate refers to a large
Climate remains more or less unchanged year after year
Climate is the collective effects of all in element
Climate controls
The following climate controls are
Latitude
altitude
pressure and wind
direction from the Sea
ocean current
direction of mountain range
Jet stream
There are a narrow belt of high altitude above 12000 m westerly winds in the troposphere
OR
The air currents blowing in the upper layer of the atmosphere
Factor affecting Indian climate
Latitude
altitude
pressure and wind
Latitude
The Tropic of Cancer passes through the middle of the country half of the country living south of the Tropic of Cancer belonging to the tropical area India lies 8 degree north and 37 degree north latitude
Altitude
The Himalayas prevent the cool wind from the Central Asia from entering the subcontinent making winter middle as compared to Central Asia
Pressure and winds
Atmospheric conditions that govern the climate and associated weather condition in India pressure and surface winds upper air circulation Western cyclonic disturbances and tropical cyclone
Upper air circulation
The higher level of the atmosphere is dominated by a western only wind flow and important component of this in the jet stream
Western cyclonic disturbances and tropical cyclone
The Western disturbance which enter the Indian subcontinent from the west and Northwest during the winter months originate over the Mediterranean sea and brought into India by the westerly jet stream
Tropical cyclone originated over the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean
Tropical cyclone occur during the monsoon as well as in October November and are part of easterly flow
