Morphology

climatological = climatology (semi-transparent) = climato + log + ical

The adjective is formed regularly from the technical noun 'climatology', but the specialized scientific meaning is not fully predictable for an average learner.

Etymology

Climatological comes from climate, a word that once meant the Earth's 'tilt' or 'region' that affects local weather. The ending -logical is like in biological and means 'study of', so climatological means 'about the study of climate', which is why we use it for scientific reports and models.
