It

implied
in

AMS
Climate
Paradigm
that
subsystems
of
Earth’s
climate
system
(atmosphere,
hydrosphere,
lithosphere,
and
biosphere)
interact
in
a(n)
way
as
described

The
ocean
is
one
of
Earth’s
climate
system
components
and
contributes
to
the
distribution
of
atmosphere-ocean
energy
and
mass
distribution.
This
suggests
that
the
ocean
is
a
part
of
biogeochemical
cycles
(e.g.,
water
cycle,
carbon
cycle)
operating
in
the
Earth
system.

According
to
the
AMS
Climate
Paradigm,
our
understanding
of
Earth’s
climate
system
is
incomplete.
Nonetheless,
it
states
that
the
risks
associated
with
climate

call
for

As

Climate
Paradigm,
the

would

pts
In
its
definition
of
climate,
the
AMS
Glossary
of
Meteorology,
2nd.
Ed.,
(Link
1A-1)
states
that
climate
“...is
typically
characterized
in
terms
of
suitable
averages
of
the
climate
system
over
periods
of
a
month
or
more,
taking
into
consideration
the
variability
in
time
of
these
average
quantities.”
This
definition
is
derived
from
a(n)
perspective.

The
AMS
Glossary’s
definition
of
climate
continues
with
“...
the
concept
of
climate
has
broadened
and
evolved
in
recent
decades
in
response
to
the
increased
understanding
of
the
underlying
processes
that
determine
climate
and
its
variability.”
This
expanded
definition
of
climate
is
based
on
a(n)
perspective.

At

Earth’s
total
surface
area
is
in
sunlight
and
half
in
darkness.

Earth
in
the
satellite’s
field
of
view
is
receiving
energy

the
Earth
system.

is
displayed
above
the
image.
From
a

pause
the

2010
UTC
on
the
same
time
of
day
as
Figure

and
compare
it
to
Figure
1A-1.
Both
Figure
