climatologists

Long-term weather experts

Climatologists are scientists who study climate—the long-term patterns of temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric conditions in a region.

They analyze data spanning decades or centuries to understand how climates change and why.

Climatologists warn that warming trends will intensify extreme weather events.

The field has gained prominence amid debates over global warming and its causes.
