definition
  • The disposition of an environmental system, particularly those influencing atmospheres, to manifest a cyclic pattern of weather over time.
editor note
  • The current alignment of "climate" under BFO:disposition is drawing from its very useful etymology (Ancient Greek klima, meaning inclination). The climatic conditions currently used to axiomatise biomes (polar, tropical, etc) may be better placed under this class.
