The study of climate and weather conditions averaged over a period of time is within the domain of climatology.

Climatology studies are approached from different dimensions like paleoclimatology, paleotempestology and historical climatology. Paleoclimatology strives to understand past climates by studying records of ice cores and tree rings. ...
