I am working on charts to show every day climate parameters such as temperature and precipitation over a period of time. I used the term "time-evolving charts". Is there a better term to show the evolution over time for these charts or diagrams? Besides, I want to use a better term for "climatic parameters"

"climatic parameters" sounds appropriate for this reason. Why do you want to change it?– user36922Feb 6, 2013 at 10:49

yes, maybe you are right. But my main issue is finding a better term for the charts– f.ashouriFeb 6, 2013 at 10:58

If you search for images defined by "time series", you will see that this is the common term for the types of chart you describe.
You could use "Temporal-Climate" charts/diagrams.
The term time-lapse is used in describing a photographic technique
denoting the photographic technique of taking a sequence of frames at set intervals to record changes that take place slowly over time. When the frames are shown at normal speed the action seems much faster.
While I am not aware of its application outside of actual photography, it could be adapted to your use in a phrase like time-lapse climate charts. This would be especially appropriate if you intended to show them in rapid succession to reflect a changing patern.
As to climate parameters, if you wish to emphasize the change, you could say climate trends or weather trends.
