Climatology in Cold Regions
A groundbreaking interdisciplinary study of cold-region weather systems and their vital role in
predicting climate change across the globe
Climatology in Cold Regions explores the complexities of land−atmospheric interaction across
the Earth’s cryosphere, systematically placing soil thawing, snow melting, surface diabatic
heating, and other processes within the context of broader climatological models. Drawing from
a wealth of new data, leading atmospheric scientist Chenghai Wang illustrates how cold-region
weather systems can be parameterized to improve seasonal climate prediction and provide
crucial insights into projected changes in climate over the next 50-100 years.
The book opens with an introduction to the characteristics and classification of cold-region
climatology, followed by a detailed description of the primary weather systems and land surface
processes in cold regions. The core of the book presents a new approach for seasonal climate
prediction using signals obtained from cryospheric processes, supported by a discussion of
climate disasters and the impact of climate change on the ecology of cold regions.

Introduces a new way of modeling climate in cold regions

Offers novel approaches for assessing climate signals from cold regions in seasonal and
sub-seasonal predictions

Presents new data on the role of cold-region climatology in forecasting and driving
global temperature changes

Discusses the role of cold regions as the main source of global freshwater supply
A significant contribution to climate research and beyond, Climatology in Cold Regions is
essential reading for students, scientists, and researchers in the atmospheric sciences,
meteorology, ecology, hydrology, and Earth sciences.
