Iklim

Deskripsi

Dalam unit ini kita akan mencari tahu tentang iklim dan apa bedanya dengan cuaca. Aktivitas dalam

unit ini adalah prakarya, percobaan, mencari tahu tentang iklim, ilustrasi iklim, memetakan iklim dan

membedakan iklim.

Tujuan

• Mempelajari Iklim

• Memahami perbedaan Cuaca dan Iklim

• Mempelajari tentang jenis iklim

• Mempelajari perubahan iklim

Iklim adalah kondisi rata-rata cuaca dalam waktu yang panjang. Studi tentang iklim dipelajari dalam

meteorologi. Iklim di bumi sangat dipengaruhi oleh posisi matahari terhadap bumi. Terdapat beberapa

klasifikasi iklim di bumi ini yang ditentukan oleh letak geografis. Secara umum kita dapat

menyebutnya sebagai iklim tropis, lintang menengah dan lintang tinggi. Ilmu yang mempelajari tentang

iklim adalah klimatologi.

Cuaca terdiri dari seluruh fenomena yang terjadi di atmosfer Bumi atau sebuah planet lainnya. Cuaca

biasanya merupakan sebuah aktivitas fenomena ini dalam waktu beberapa hari. Cuaca rata-rata dengan

jangka waktu yang lebih lama dikenal sebagai iklim.



Iklim Wilayah (Regional Climate)

Apa iklim di wilayahmu? Buatlah gambar yang menunjukkan iklim di daerahmu.

Lihat pada peta dan tentukan dimana kamu tinggal. Lalu, carilah artikel tentang iklim di daerahmu.

Setelah membaca, buatlah gambar/grafik yang menunjukkan bagaimana bentuk iklim di tempatmu

pada setiap tahunnya. Termasuk tinggi dan rendahnya temperatur dan curah hujan yang terjadi selama

setahun. Tanyalah pada dirimu sendiri apakah iklim itu kering atah basah, panas atau dingin dan

bagaimana efek iklim tersebut terhadap aktivitasmu.

Iklim di Indonesia hampir seluruhnya adalah tropis. Suhu hangat yang meliputi 81% dari area

Indonesia membuat temperatur tanah menjadi stabil, dengan suhu sekitar 28°C, daerah

pedalaman dan pegunungan sekitar 26°C, dan daerah pegunungan yang lebih tinggi sekitar

23°C.

Temperatur berubah sedikit saja dari musim ke musim, dan Indonesia mengalami sedikit

perubahan jumlah jam di siang hari dari satu musim ke musim yang lain. Perbedaan anntara

hari terpanjang dan hari terpendek dalam setahun hanya 48 menit. Hal ini membuat biji-bijian

dapat tumbuh setiap saat dalam setahun.

Faktor terpenting dari iklim Indonesia bukanlah temperatur atau tekanan udara, tapi curah

hujan. Hal ini menyebabkan kelembaban cukup besar, antara 70-90%. Angin sekedarnya dan

dapat diperkirakan, dengan angin musim hujan yang biasa bertiup dari selatan dan timur di

Bulan Juni sampai September dan dari Utara pada bulan Desember sampai Maret.

Angin puyuh dan badai sekala besar banyak terjadi di perairan Indonesia, yang paling

berbahaya adalah laju arus ombak seperti yang terjadi di selat Lombok dan Sape.(Wikipedia)

Peta Iklim

Misimu adalah membuat peta iklim.

Bedasarkan peta ini buatlah peta iklim Indonesia.



Memperhatikan Iklim (Climate Watch)

Ikuti perkembangan iklim di daerahmu. Catatlah temperatur dan curah hujan di daerahmu setiap hari

pada setiap waktu yang sama. Di akhir bulan, lihatlah catatanmu dengan degan catatan yang ada di

http://www.worldclimate.com/ untuk informasi iklim.

Three basic climate groups.

Three major climate groups show the dominance of special combinations of air-mass source regions.

Group I

Low-latitude Climates: These climates are controlled by equatorial a tropical air masses.

• Tropical Moist Climates (Af) rainforest

Rainfall is heavy in all months. The total annual rainfall is

often more than 250 cm. (100 in.). There are seasonal

differences in monthly rainfall but temperatures of 27°C

(80°F) mostly stay the same. Humidity is between 77 and

88%.

High surface heat and humidity cause cumulus clouds to

form early in the afternoons almost every day.

The climate on eastern sides of continents are influenced by maritime tropical air masses.

These air masses flow out from the moist western sides of oceanic high-pressure cells, and

bring lots of summer rainfall. The summers are warm and very humid. It also rains a lot in the

winter

o Average temperature: 18 °C (°F)

o Annual Precipitation: 262 cm. (103 in.)

o Latitude Range: 10° S to 25 ° N

Global Position: Amazon Basin; Congo Basin of equatorial Africa; East Indies, from Sumatra to New

Guinea.

• Wet-Dry Tropical Climates (Aw) savanna

A seasonal change occurs between wet tropical air masses

and dry tropical air masses. As a result, there is a very wet

season and a very dry season. Trade winds dominate

during the dry season. It gets a little cooler during this dry

season but will become very hot just before the wet

season.

o Temperature Range: 16 °C

o Annual Precipitation: 0.25 cm. (0.1 in.).

All months less than 0.25 cm. (0.1 in.)

o Latitude Range: 15 ° to 25 ° N and S

Global Range: India, Indochina, West Africa, southern Africa, South America and the north coast of

Australia

• Dry Tropical Climate (BW) desert biome

These desert climates are found in low-latitude deserts

approximately between 18° to 28° in both hemispheres.

these latitude belts are centered on the tropics of Cancer

and Capricorn, which lie just north and south of the

equator. They coincide with the edge of the equatorial

subtropical high pressure belt and trade winds. Winds are



light, which allows for the evaporation of moisture in the intense heat. They generally flow

downward so the area is seldom penetrated by air masses that produce rain. This makes for a

very dry heat. The dry arid desert is a true desert climate, and covers 12 % of the Earth's land

surface.

o Temperature Range: 16° C

o Annual Precipitation: 0.25 cm (0.1 in). All months less than 0.25 cm (0.1 in).

o Latitude Range: 15° - 25° N and S.

Global Range: southwestern United States and northern Mexico; Argentina; north Africa; south Africa;

central part of Australia.

Group II

Mid-latitude Climates: Climates in this zone are affected by two different air-masses. The tropical air-

masses are moving towards the poles and the polar air-masses are moving towards the equator. These

two air masses are in constant conflict. Either air mass may dominate the area, but neither has exclusive

control.

• Dry Midlatitude Climates (BS) steppe

Characterized by grasslands, this is a semiarid climate. It

can be found between the desert climate (BW) and more

humid climates of the A, C, and D groups. If it received

less rain, the steppe would be classified as an arid desert.

With more rain, it would be classified as a tallgrass

prairie.

This dry climate exists in the interior regions of the North

American and Eurasian continents. Moist ocean air masses are blocked by mountain ranges to

the west and south. These mountain ranges also trap polar air in winter, making winters very

cold. Summers are warm to hot.

o Temperature Range: 24° C (43° F).

o Annual Precipitation: less than 10 cm (4 in) in the driest regions to 50 cm (20 in) in

the moister steppes.

o Latitude Range: 35° - 55° N.

Global Range: Western North America (Great Basin, Columbia Plateau, Great Plains); Eurasian

interior, from steppes of eastern Europe to the Gobi Desert and North China.

• Mediterranean Climate (Cs) chaparral biome

This is a wet-winter, dry-summer climate. Extremely dry

summers are caused by the sinking air of the subtropical

highs and may last for up to five months.

Plants have adapted to the extreme difference in rainfall

and temperature between winter and summer seasons.

Sclerophyll plants range in formations from forests, to

woodland, and scrub. Eucalyptus forests cover most of the

chaparral biome in Australia.

Fires occur frequently in Mediterranean climate zones.

o Temperature Range: 7 °C (12 °F)



o Annual Precipitation: 42 cm (17 in).

o Latitude Range: 30° - 50° N and S

Global Position: central and southern California; coastal zones bordering the Mediterranean Sea;

coastal Western Australia and South Australia; Chilean coast; Cape Town region of South Africa.

• Dry Midlatitude Climates (Bs) grasslands biome

These dry climates are limited to the interiors of North

America and Eurasia.

Ocean air masses are blocked by mountain ranges to the

west and south. This allows polar air masses to dominate

in winter months. In the summer, a local continental air

mass is dominant. A small amount of rain falls during this

season.

Annual temperatures range widely. Summers are warm to hot, but winters are cold.

o Temperature Range: 31 °C (56°F).

o Annual Precipitation: 81 cm. (32 in.).

o Latitude Range: 30° - 55° N and S

Global Position: western North America (Great Basin, Columbia Plateau, Great Plains); Eurasian

interior.

• Moist Continental Climate (Cf) Deciduous Forest biome

This climate is in the polar front zone - the battleground of

polar and tropical air masses. Seasonal changes between

summer and winter are very large. Daily temperatures also

change often. Abundant precipitation falls throughout the

year. It is increased in the summer season by invading

tropical air masses. Cold winters are caused by polar and

arctic masses moving south.

o Temperature Range: 31 °C (56 ° F)

o Average Annual Precipitation: 81 cm (32 in).

o Latitude Range: 30° - 55° N and S (Europe: 45° - 60° N).

Global Position: eastern parts of the United States and southern Canada; northern China; Korea; Japan;

central and eastern Europe.

Group III

High-latitude climates: Polar and arctic air masses dominate these regions. Canada and Siberia are

two air-mass sources which fall into this group. A southern hemisphere counterpart to these continental

centers does not exist. Air masses of arctic origin meet polar continental air masses along the 60th and

70th parallels.

• Boreal forest Climate ( Dfc) taiga biome

This is a continental climate with long, very cold winters,

and short, cool summers. This climate is found in the

polar air mass region. Very cold air masses from the arctic

often move in. The temperature range is larger than any



other climate. Precipitation increases during summer months, although annual precipitation is

still small.

Much of the boreal forest climate is considered humid. However, large areas in western

Canada and Siberia receive very little precipitation and fall into the subhumid or semiarid

climate type.

o Temperature Range: 41 °C (74 °F), lows; -25 °C (-14 °F), highs; 16 °C (60 °F).


o Latitude Range: 50° - 70° N and S.

o Global Position: central and western Alaska; Canada, from the Yukon Territory to

Labrador; Eurasia, from northern Europe across all of Siberia to the Pacific Ocean.

• Tundra Climate (E) tundra biome

The tundra climate is found along arctic coastal areas.

Polar and arctic air masses dominate the tundra climate.

The winter season is long and severe. A short, mild

season exists, but not a true summer season. Moderating

ocean winds keep the temperatures from being as severe

as interior regions.

o Temperature Range: -22 °C to 6 °C (-

10 °F to 41 °F).


o Latitude Range: 60° - 75° N.

o Global Position: arctic zone of North America; Hudson Bay region; Greenland coast;

northern Siberia bordering the Arctic Ocean.

• Highland Climate (H) Alpine Biome

Highland climates are cool to cold, found in mountains and

high plateaus. Climates change rapidly on mountains,

becoming colder the higher the altitude gets. The climate of

a highland area is closely related to the climate of the

surrounding biome. The highlands have the same seasons

and wet and dry periods as the biome they are in.

Mountain climates are very important to midlatitude

biomes. They work as water storage areas. Snow is kept back until spring and summer when it

is released slowly as water through melting.

o Temperature Range: -18 °C to 10 °C (-2 °F to 50°F)

o Average Annual Precipitation: 23 cm (9 in.)

o Latitude Range: found all over the world

Global Position: Rocky Mountain Range in North America, the Andean mountain range in South

America, the Alps in Europe, Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa, the Himalayans in Tibet, Mt. Fuji in Japan.



MAKE A RAINBOW

MATERIALS:

• glass of water

• sheet of white paper

• the sun

PROCESS:

Fill the glass all the way to the top with water.

Put the glass of water on a table so that it is half on the table and half off of the table.

Be careful that the glass doesn't fall.

Then, make sure that the sun can shine through the glass of water.

After you do that, place the white sheet of paper on the floor.

Adjust the piece of white paper and the glass of water until a rainbow forms on the

paper.

EXPLANATION:

Why does this happen? Light is made up of a lot of colors. Specifically, the colors are

red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. When light passes through the

water, it is broken up into the colors seen in a rainbow.



WHAT'S IN THE WIND

MATERIALS:

• a few plastic lids

• petroleum jelly

• magnifying glass

• paper punch

• yarn

• windy day

PROCESS:

Punch a hole at one end of each lid.

Thread each hole with a length of yarn and knot the ends of the yarn together to form

a loop for hanging.

Spread petroleum jelly over one side of each lid.

Take the lids outdoors on a windy day and hang them in various areas.

Leave them outside for about an hour or two to collect what may be blowing in the

wind.

Retrieve the lids and see what they have collected.

EXPLANATION:

Some of the items that may have been collected include insects, dirt, seeds and leaves.

Use the magnifying glass for further observation.



MAKE AN ANEMOMETER

MATERIALS:

• 5 three ounce paper Dixie Cups

• 2 soda straws

• pin

• paper punch

• scissors

• stapler

• sharp pencil with an eraser

PROCESS:

1. Take four of the Dixie Cups and use the paper punch to punch one hole in each, about a half

inch below the rim.

2. Take the fifth cup and punch four equally spaced holes about a quarter inch below the rim.

Then punch a hole in the center of the bottom of the cup.

3. Take one of the four cups and push a soda straw through the hole. Fold the end of the straw

and staple it to the side of the cup across from the hole. Repeat this procedure for another one-

hole cup and the second straw.

4. Slide one cup and straw assembly through two opposite holes in the cup with four holes. Push

another one-hole cup onto the end of the straw just pushed through the four-hole cup.

5. Bend the straw and staple it to the one-hole cup, making certain that the cup faces the opposite

direction from the first cup. Repeat this procedure using the other cup and straw assembly and

the remaining one-hole cup.

6. Align the four cups so that their open ends face in the same direction either clockwise or

counter-clockwise around the center cup.

7. Push the straight pin through the two straws where they intersect.

8. Push the eraser end of the pencil through the bottom hole in the center cup. Push the pin into

the end of the pencil eraser as far as it will go.

9. Now your anemometer is ready for use!

EXPLANATION:

An anemometer is useful because it rotates with the wind. To calculate the velocity at which your

anemometer spins, determine the number of revolutions per minute (RPM). Next, calculate the

circumference (in feet) of the circle made by the rotating paper cups. Multiply your RPM value by the

circumference of the circle and you will have an approximation of the velocity of at which your

anemometer spins (in feet per minute). Your anemometer doesn't need to be pointed in the wind for

use.

Note: Some forces are being ignored including drag and friction for this elementary illustration, so the

velocity at which your anemometer spins is not the same as wind speed.

Ps. An anemometer is a device for measuring the wind speed
