This volume contains most of the papers presented at the Beijing International Symposium on Climate (October 30-November 3, 1984) sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and cosponsored by ICCL/IAMAP (International Committee of Climate/ International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics) and INQUA Cl3 (International Quaternary Association. With the relationship between climate in China and global climate as the major subject of the Symposium, about 60 eminent international scientists presented their new contributions in this field and discussed common interesting scientific problems.

This volume is edited in the following five parts:
1. Climate history in past 2000 years and beyond;
2. Ocean-atmospheric interaction in short-period climatic variation ;
3. Land surface processes related to climate variation;
4. Impact of human activity and some other natural factors on climate;
5. Prediction methods for monthly and seasonal climate variation
