In climatology , the term megathermal or less commonly, macrothermal is sometimes used as a synonym for tropical . In order for a particular place to qualify as having a megathermal climate, every single month out of the year must have an average temperature of 18 C or above. Megathermal climates are sometimes split into two temperature based subsets &mdash equatorial and tropical the latter used here in the sense of outer tropical &mdash with equatorial denoting little or no variation in temperature throughout the year and tropical denoting significant seasonal variation, even though no month has an average temperature of below 18 C. In addition, what temperature fluctuations do exist in an equatorial climate will typically bear no relationship to the astronomical seasons for the applicable side of the equator , while in the outer tropical subtype the temperature will move in concert with the seasons, the time of higher sun and longer days being warmest and the time of lower sun and shorter days coolest. These climates can also be subdivided on the basis of rain rainfall , as examples of humid , semiarid and arid places can all be found within the megathermal category although the region of arid megathermal climate is small compared with the extent of deserts existing in other climate zones, particularly the neighboring subtropical climate subtropical zone .

unreferenced date December 2011 Urban climate refers to climate climatic conditions in an urban area that differ from neighboring rural areas and are attributable to urban development . Urbanization tremendously changes the form of the landscape and also produces changes in an area s air. Rainfall does this count as part of the climate? Cities absorb much less water per area than rural areas, as much of them is paved or built on. In some areas this creates a need for specific measures to reduce the risk of localised flood ing during periods of heavy rainfall. Measures include the use of rainwater storage and drainage systems. In some areas this may involve storm sewer s to collect rainwater separately from household Blackwater waste blackwater , to reduce the risk of polluted water overflowing during periods of rainfall heavy enough to overwhelm sewers. Vegetation According to one study, the growing season in east coast U.S. cities is fifteen days longer than in the surrounding rural areas. This is attributed to the higher temperature. http www.livescience.com environment 041026 Urban Heat Island.html See also air pollution Urban climatology Urban studies References references Category Climatology Category Physical geography ar es Clima urbano kk hu V rosklimatol gia ja nn Byklima ru zh ... more details

for Stadial theory in sociology Sociocultural evolution Stadial theory A stadial is a period of lower temperature s during an interglacial warm period separating the glacial period s of an ice age . Such periods are of insufficient duration or intensity to be considered glacial periods. Notable stadials include the Older Dryas and Younger Dryas stadials and the Little Ice Age . An interstadial is a warm period during a glacial period of an ice age that is of insufficient duration or intensity to be considered an interglacial. Generally, interstadials endure for less than ten thousand years and interglacials for more than ten thousand. The Eemian Stage , which lasted from about 130,000 to 114,000 years ago, was the last interglacial prior to the present Holocene Epoch geology epoch . The B lling Oscillation and the Aller d Oscillation , where they are not clearly distinguished in the stratigraphy , are taken together to form the B lling Aller d interstadial, and dated from about 14,700 to 12,700 years before the present. ref name Cronin cite book title Principles of Climatology last Cronin first Thomas M. authorlink coauthors year 1999 publisher Columbia University Press location New York isbn page 204 ref Greenland ice core s show 24 interstadials during the one hundred thousand years of the Wisconsin glaciation . ref name Wilson2000 cite book title The Great Ice Age Climate Change and Life last Wilson first R.
