In addition to contiguous spatial domains discussed in the previous section, some domains are defined by specific climatological, geographical, ecological or socio-economic properties where climate is an important determinant or influencer. In these cases the domains are subject to particular physical processes that are important for its climatology or that involve systems affected by the climate in a way that observations and climate model simulations can be used to understand. Many of these are the basis of the chapters and cross-chapter papers of the AR6 WGII report, namely river basins, biodiversity hotspots, tropical forests, cities, coastal settlements, deserts and semi-arid areas, the Mediterranean, mountains and polar regions. It is therefore important to generate climate information relevant to these typological domains and some examples of these used in the Interactive Atlas are shown in Figure Atlas.4.
