LACEMOPS FACTORS AFFECTING CLIMATE
L = LATITUDE LOWER LATITUDES RECEIVE MORE DIRECT SUN
A = AIR MASS
C = CONTINENTALITY POSITION ON A CONTINENT BIG WATER MODERATES TEMPERATURE
E = ELEVATION HIGHER ELEVATION = LOWER TEMPERATURE LOWER ELEVATION = HIGHER TEMPERATURE
M = MOUNTAIN BARRIERS OROGRAPHIC EFFECT
O = OCEAN CURRENTS
P = PRESSURE CELLS AIR ALWAYS FLOWS FROM HIGH TO LOW PRESSURE
S = STORMS
