This site features animations that show the climatology of the seasonal cycle for the time period 1959-1997. The individual frames in each animation show the map pattern of the long-term average of a particular monthly climate variable. Animation topics include global energy balance, temperature, global water balance, and atmospheric circulation and winds. The animations are used as teaching tools in climatology and global environmental change courses to visualize the seasonal variations of, and interactions among a set of climate variables. Animations are presented as both animated .gif files and as Flash animations.
