Morphology

bioclimatology = climatology (semi-transparent) = bio + climat + ology

The word is built transparently from bio- plus climatology, but the specialized sense is not fully predictable for an average learner.

Etymology

Bioclimatology combines bio- 'life', which you see in biology, with climate 'the usual weather of a place', and -ology 'study of'. So, it means the scientific study of how weather and climate affect living things.
