Concept: mountain climate in the concept vocabulary

Concept URI	http://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/concept/12064
Preferred label	mountain climate
Definition	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.
