California
California (pronounced ) is the most populous state in the United States and the third-largest by land area, after Alaska and Texas. California is also the most populous sub-national entity in North America. It's on the U.S. West Coast, bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and by the states of Oregon to the north, Nevada to the east, Arizona to the southeast, Baja California, Mexico, to the south. Its 5 largest cities are Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, and Long Beach, with Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Jose each having at least 1 million residents. Like many populous states, California's capital, Sacramento is smaller than the state's largest city, Los Angeles. The state is home to the nation's 2nd- and 6th-largest census statistical areas and 8 of the nation's 50 most populous cities. California has a varied climate and geography and a multi-cultural population.

Himalayas
The Himalaya Range (Sanskrit: literally, "abode of snow", Hindi/Sanskrit: , IPA: ), the Himalayas or Himalaya for short, is a mountain range in Asia, separating the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. By extension, it is also the name of a massive mountain system that includes the Karakoram, the Hindu Kush, and other, lesser, ranges that extend out from the Pamir Knot.

This is a project of the Alpine Space Programme. EU co-funded. Find out more here: www.alpine-space.eu Permafrost is highly sensitive to climatic changes. Permafrost degradation and related natural hazards affect traffic routes, tourism areas, settlements and infrastructures. The main problem is a lacking strategy for the consideration of these newly observed specific impacts of climate change in risk prevention and territorial development. With the joint development of a common strategy for dealing with permafrost and related hazards under changing climatic conditions and the creation of an Alpine-wide monitoring network the project aims at preventing natural hazards, at contributing to sustainable territorial development and at the implementation of good governance practices. Outputs are an Alpine-wide permafrost monitoring network, a permafrost map for the entire Alpine Space and guidelines for the consideration of permafrost in risk and water resources management. The project arises the awareness of decision-makers and responsible authorities to this topic and provides Alpine-wide decision bases and strategies.

This video is part of a story at climateXchange.aspacnet.org Phil Zylstra works in the fire unit of the National Parks and Wildlife Service, Jindabyne, which is in the Snowy Mountains in the south east of Australia. His job includes fighting fires, researching bush fire behaviour and developing strategies for fighting future fires. Throughout history very hot fires were uncommon in the mountains, now however Phil tells a different story. The weather has become warmer and there is less snow in the winter. This has resulted in more frequent and more intense fires. Climate change will continue to have a big impact not only on the work of Phil and his colleagues but also on the native flora and fauna in the area. The latest work indicates that by 2050 there will be little snow on the mountains. This will affect many small mammals that rely on the snow cover and may also result in the loss of up to 200 species of alpine plants that don't occur anywhere else in Australia.

The Japanese Alps is a series of mountain ranges in Japan that bisect the main island of Honshū. The name was coined by William Gowland, the "Father of Japanese Archaeology," and later popularized by Reverend Walter Weston (1861--1940), an English missionary for whom a memorial plaque is located at Kamikochi, a tourist destination known for its alpine climate. When Gowland coined the phrase, however, he was only referring to the Hida MountainsThree ranges Today, the Japanese Alps encompass the Hida Mountains, the Kiso Mountains and the Akaishi Mountains. These towering ranges include several peaks exceeding 3000 m (9843 ft) in height, the tallest after Mount Fuji. The highest are Mount Hotaka at 3190 m (10466 ft) and Mount Kita at 3193 m (10476 ft). Mount Ontake in Nagano Prefecture, at 3067 m (10062 ft), is a destination for pilgrimages as well as an active volcano, having erupted most recently in 1979 and 1980. The Northern Alps, also known as the Hida Mountains, are a mountain range which stretches through Nagano, Toyama and Gifu prefectures. A small portion of the mountains also reach into Niigata Prefecture. [edit] Central Alps Main article: Kiso Mountains The Central Alps, also known as the Kiso Mountains, are a mountain range in Nagano and Gifu prefectures.

- For the climate of the mountains named the Alps, see Climate of the Alps.
Alpine climate is the average weather (climate) for a region above the tree line. This climate is also referred to as mountain climate or highland climate.
In the Köppen climate classification the alpine climate is part of "Group E," along with the polar climate, where no month has a mean temperature higher than 10 °C (50 °F).[1] Certain highland climates can also fit under hemiboreal climate or Semi-arid climate groups of climate classification.
Contents |
Description[link]
The climate becomes colder at high elevations—this characteristic is described by the lapse rate of air: air tends to get colder as it rises, since it expands. The dry adiabatic lapse rate is -10 °C per km of elevation or altitude.[2] Therefore, moving up 100 meters on a mountain is roughly equivalent to moving 80 kilometers (45 miles or 0.75° of latitude) towards the pole.[3] This relationship is only approximate, however, since local factors such as proximity to oceans can drastically modify the climate.[4] The main form of precipitation is often snow, often accompanied by stronger winds.
Distribution[link]
The Cascade Mountains, the Rocky Mountains, the Alps, the Pyrenees and Sierra Nevada, the Andes, the Himalayas, the Tibetan Plateau, the Eastern Highlands of Africa, and the central parts of Borneo and New Guinea are examples of highland climates. The mountain climate in the Northern Andes is particularly known for the notion of four zones of elevation:
- Tierra caliente or hot land
- Tierra templada or temperate land
- Tierra fria or cold land
- Tierra helada or frozen land
In mountainous areas with alpine climate, the dominant biome is alpine tundra.

Alpine Space Project: PermaNET
This is a project of the Alpine Space Programme. EU co-funded. Find out more here: www.alpine-space.eu Permafrost is highly sensitive to climatic changes. Permafrost degradation and related natural hazards affect traffic routes, tourism areas, settlements and infrastructures. The main problem is a lacking strategy for the consideration of these newly observed specific impacts of climate change in risk prevention and territorial development. With the joint development of a common strategy for dealing with permafrost and related hazards under changing climatic conditions and the creation of an Alpine-wide monitoring network the project aims at preventing natural hazards, at contributing to sustainable territorial development and at the implementation of good governance practices. Outputs are an Alpine-wide permafrost monitoring network, a permafrost map for the entire Alpine Space and guidelines for the consideration of permafrost in risk and water resources management. The project arises the awareness of decision-makers and responsible authorities to this topic and provides Alpine-wide decision bases and strategies.
