| English | Norwegian Bokmål |
| climate protection Precautionary actions, procedures or installations undertaken to prevent or reduce harm from pollution to natural weather conditions or patterns, including the prevailing temperature, atmospheric composition and precipitation | klimavern |
| climate resource No definition needed | klimaressurs |
| climate type Weather conditions typical of areas roughly corresponding to lines of latitude | klimatype |
| continental climate A climate characterized by hot summers, cold winters, and little rainfall, typical of the interior of a continent | innlandsklima |
| desert climate A climate type which is characterized by insufficient moisture to support appreciable plant life; that is, a climate of extreme aridity | ørkenklima |
| equatorial climate Climate characterized by constant temperatures, abundant rainfall and a very short dry season | ekvatorialklima |
| man-made climate change Man-made climate changes may be due to the greenhouse effect and other human activities. A change in albedo of the land brought about by desertification and deforestation affects the amount of solar energy absorbed at the earth's surface. Man-made aerosols produced from the sulphur released from power stations can modify clouds. Changes in ozone levels in the stratosphere due to CFCs may influence climate | menneskeskapt klimaendring |
| Mediterranean climate A type of climate characterized by hot, dry, sunny summers and a winter rainy season; basically, this is the opposite of a monsoon climate. Also known as etesian climate | middelhavsklima |
| mountain climate Very generally, the climate of relatively high elevations; mountain climates are distinguished by the departure of their characteristics from those of surrounding lowlands, and the one common basis for this distinction is that of atmospheric rarefaction; aside from this, great variety is introduced by differences in latitude, elevation, and exposure to the sun; thus, there exists no single, clearly defined, mountain climate. Also known as highland climate | fjellklima |
| oceanic climate A regional climate which is under the predominant influence of the sea, that is, a climate characterized by oceanity; the antithesis of a continental climate | oseanisk klima |
| temperate climate The climate of the middle latitudes; the climate between the extremes of tropical climate and polar climate | temperert klima |
| tropical climate A climate which is typical of equatorial and tropical regions, that is, one with continually high temperatures and with considerable precipitation, at least during part of the year | tropisk klima |
