Record 9 2010-12-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Climatology
DEF

Classification of climate based upon annual and monthly means of temperature and precipitation which also takes into account the vegetation limits.

CONT

Köppen Climate Classification. The Köppen Climate Classification System is the most widely used system for classifying the world’s climates. ... The Köppen system recognizes five major climatic types; each type is designated by a capital letter. A. Tropical Moist Climates: all months have average temperatures above 18 degrees Celsius. B. Dry Climates: with deficient precipitation during most of the year. C. Moist Mid-latitude Climates with Mild Winters. D. Moist Mid-Latitude Climates with Cold Winters. E. Polar Climates: with extremely cold winters and summers.

CONT

Köppen’s scheme to classify world climates was devised in 1918 by Dr Wladimir Köppen of the University of Graz in Austria (Köppen 1931, Köppen and Geiger 1928, Köppen and Geiger 1930-39). ... The Köppen classification ... recognises five principal groups of world climates that are intended to correspond with five principal vegetation groups. These five climatic groups may be described as tropical rainy, dry, temperate rainy, cold snowy forest, and polar.

CONT

Koppen Classification : uses average monthly temperatures, average monthly precipitation, total annual precipitation and potential evapotranspiration [and] separates climate into general categories(A, C, D, E, H, and B) and then into smaller groups based on precipitation timing(winter dominant, summer dominant, evenly distributed).

OBS

It is a tool for presenting the world pattern of climate and for identifying important deviations from this pattern.

Key term(s)

French

Domaine(s)
  • Climatologie
DEF

Classification du climat basée sur les moyennes annuelles et mensuelles de température et de précipitation; elle tient aussi compte des limites de la végétation.

CONT

Des classifications des climats du globe ont été établies notamment par les Allemands Wladimir Köppen et Carl Troll et par l'Américain Charles Warren Thornthwaite. La plus ancienne, et la plus universellement reconnue, est celle du géographe allemand W. Köppen, publiée pour la première fois en 1901 et plusieurs fois remaniée par l'auteur (jusqu'en 1931), puis par ses successeurs. [...] Le but initial de la classification de Köppen était de rendre compte des principaux groupes de végétation naturelle. Elle comprend cinq groupes principaux [tropical humide, sec, tempéré, subarctique et polaire], chacun étant lui-même subdivisé en sous-classes (ou types climatiques). La délimitation de chaque groupe correspond à la satisfaction d'un critère de caractérisation, soit purement thermique, soit correspondant à une combinaison de la température de l'air et de la pluviométrie.

OBS

Cette classification est utile pour présenter la configuration mondiale du climat et pour identifier les écarts significatifs par rapport à celle-ci.

OBS

Every winter, almost 25% of Canadians are infected with influenza. Thousands become seriously ill, and thousands die from flu related complications. Most people who want to improve their chances of having a flu free winter can benefit from the annual flu shot. The flu shot cannot give a person the flu, and side effects are minor. At high risk are seniors, adults and children with chronic diseases, and their caregiver. Without vaccination, they may face the possibility of serious or even fatal consequences, should they get the flu. A yearly vaccination is the only preventive mesure that has been proven to reduce mortility rate from influenza.

Chaque hiver, près d'un quart des Canadiens et Canadiennes contractent le virus de la grippe. Des milliers tombent gravement malades. Des milliers d'autres meurent à la suite de complications liées à la grippe. Presque toutes les personnes qui veulent améliorer leurs chances de passer un hiver sans la grippe peuvent tirer profit d'un vaccin antigrippal annuel. Le vaccin ne donne pas la grippe et les effets secondaires de la vaccination sont mineurs. Les personnes les plus vulnérables sont les aînés, les adultes et les enfants souffrant de maladies chroniques, ainsi que leurs soignants. Ces personnes risquent de subir des conséquences graves et même mortelle si elles attrapent la grippe. Le vaccin antigrippal annual est la seule mesure préventive capable d'aider à réduire le taux de mortalité dû à la grippe.

CONT

During energy-demanding periods of the annual cycle such as migration or during cold days in winter, birds store fat comprised mostly of 16-or 18-carbon unsaturated fatty acids. In such situations, birds may feed selectively on foods with specific fatty acids that enable efficient fat deposition.... The preference for diets containing long-chain unsaturated fatty acids to diets containing long-chain saturated fatty acids was consistent in birds tested...

CONT

Peroxisomes contain enzymes that are necessary for cellular metabolism such as the beta-oxidation of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs). Deficiency in these enzymes results in the accumulation of saturated VLCFA in tissues throughout the body, such as the plasma, red blood cells, and cultured skin fibroblasts. High levels of long chain saturated fatty acids occur, specifically hexacosanoic acid (C26:0), along with an increased C26:C24 and C26:C22 ratio.

The primary cause for these seasonal winds [monsoon] is the much greater annual variation of temperature over large land areas compared with neighboring ocean surfaces, causing an excess of pressure over the continents in winter and a deficit in summer, but other factors, such as topography of the land, also have an effect.
