Weather and Climate

This area covers topics both Weather – short-term – and Climate – long-term.

“Weather is the state of the atmosphere, describing for example the degree to which it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy.[1]” [wikipedia]

“Climate is the long-term average of weather, typically averaged over a period of 30 years.[1][2] More rigorously, it denotes the mean and variability of meteorological variables over a time spanning from months to millions of years.[1] ” [wikipedia]

Cyclones, Hurricanes, Typhoons

Cyclones, Hurricanes, Typhoons: “A hurricane is a tropical cyclone that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean and northeastern Pacific Ocean, and a typhoon occurs in the northwestern Pacific Ocean; in the south Pacific or Indian Ocean, comparable storms are referred to simply as “tropical cyclones” or “severe cyclonic storms”.[4]” [wikipedia]

Ratings for Enclosures

These are more focusing on enclosures for protections of equipment (e.g. electronics) for both own impacts by external environment and for protecting people from being hurt by contents inside (personal access to hazardous content).

Ratings systems that some are more often applied on boxes-sizes but definitely stretches up to whole cabinets and larger sizes. (See e.g. COWs – Cell on Wheels [wikipedia], telecom solutions part of providing 5-nines uptime, availability, in telecommunications networks)
