[Qgis-user] Continentality

[Michael.Dodd]

Can 'continentality' be derived just using gis with land masses and latitude and if so how using qgis?  I am not a meterologist/climate scientist. On one hand it would seem a simple thing to look at distances to the coast and assume bigger distance to coast = bigger temperature range = higher value of continentality but there is probably more to it than this with other regular factors large scale weather systems such as monsoons and topography playing a role?
