Climatologists are scientists who study climate, which is the long-term pattern and average of weather conditions in a specific area over extended periods, typically decades to millions of years. Their work encompasses understanding the Earth's climate systems, including factors that influence climate such as atmospheric conditions, ocean currents, solar radiation, and human activities. Climatologists analyze various data, including temperature records, precipitation patterns, and atmospheric composition, to identify trends and make predictions about future climate changes.
