Drawing from a wealth of new data, leading atmospheric scientist Chenghai Wang illustrates how cold-region weather systems can be parameterized to improve seasonal climate prediction and provide crucial insights into projected changes in climate over the next 50-100 years.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book opens with an introduction to the characteristics and classification of cold-region climatology, followed by a detailed description of the primary weather systems and land surface processes in cold regions. The core of the book presents a new approach for seasonal climate prediction using signals obtained from cryospheric processes, supported by a discussion of climate disasters and the impact of climate change on the ecology of cold regions.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces a new way of modeling climate in cold regions \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Offers novel approaches for assessing climate signals from cold regions in seasonal and sub-seasonal predictions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Presents new data on the role of cold-region climatology in forecasting and driving global temperature changes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Discusses the role of cold regions as the main source of global freshwater supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eA significant contribution to climate research and beyond, \u003ci\u003eClimatology in Cold Regions \u003c\/i\u003eis essential reading for students, scientists, and researchers in the atmospheric sciences, meteorology, ecology, hydrology, and Earth sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChenghai Wang\u003c\/b\u003e is a Full Professor in the School of Atmospheric Sciences at Lanzhou University, China.
