ABSTRACT

Rosenzweig and Hillel 1999

Rosenzweig, C., and D. Hillel, 1999: Climate and biosphere. Natl. Forum, 79, 2:25-29.

Some ancient societies believed that climatic phenomena — especially rainstorms — represented a primal mating of the sky with the earth. This intuitive depiction has long been supplanted by scientific inquiry. Yet the essential factremains: climate and its short-term manifestations, called weather, are conditioned by interactions of the atmosphere with the earth's surface.
