Each species seems to be tied to their local seasonal cycle of greening, which is markedly different among species, suggesting that annual climate cycles may help maintain genetic and phenotypic divergence in giraffes.

«Looking at changes in the number of dry days per year is a new way of understanding how climate change will affect us that goes beyond just annual or seasonal mean precipitation changes, and allows us to better adapt to and mitigate the impacts of local hydrological changes,» said Polade, a postdoctoral researcher who works with Scripps climate scientists Dan Cayan, David Pierce, Alexander Gershunov, and Michael Dettinger, who are co-authors of the study.

«How local weather affects the bats depends on the seasonal climate,» she explains.

At local scales and over shorter periods, annual streamflow responds to seasonal changes in climate variables (e.g., temperature, precipitation) and related processes such as evapotranspiration.

Mother Nature provides the perfect nourishment for the local climate and seasonal conditions.

Retailers and manufacturers can usually count on the predictability of seasonal pond sales — depending on local climate — but the weather didn't cooperate in 2011.

While the local, seasonal climate forcing by the Milankovitch cycles is large (of the order 30 W / m2), the net forcing provided by Milankovitch is close to zero in the global mean, requiring other radiative terms (like albedo or greenhouse gas anomalies) to force global - mean temperature change.

There can / will be local and regional, latitudinal, diurnal and seasonal, and internal variability - related deviations to the pattern (in temperature and in optical properties (LW and SW) from components (water vapor, clouds, snow, etc.) that vary with weather and climate), but the global average effect is at least somewhat constrained by the global average vertical distribution of solar heating, which requires the equilibrium net convective + LW fluxes, in the global average, to be sizable and upward at all levels from the surface to TOA, thus tending to limit the extent and magnitude of inversions.)

Farmers are often willing to experiment with new crops, but would benefit from information about local market prices and seasonal climate forecasts, as well as help with inputs — which could be provided by research organisations and development groups working in the field, Thornton told AlertNet from Nairobi.

Catering: The selection of local, seasonal and organically produced products can help to reduce the climate footprint of your event.

3) Snow cover: The radiative and thermal properties of widespread snow cover anomalies have the potential to modulate local and remote climate over monthly to seasonal time scales

The use of anomalies avoids this seasonal / regional variation, because when the climate isn't changing, neither will be the anomalies except for local noise.

Providing reliable climate projections on regional and local, seasonal and decadal scales is a complex scientific challenge that the Met Office is in a unique position to meet.

Climate is presumed to be local weather averaged out and incorporating seasonal factors and natural variability.
