mountain climate

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
mountain climate [′mau̇nt·ən ¦klī·mət]
(climatology)
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.
