On this web site we provide global data, world maps and computer animations of our updated Köppen-Geiger climate classification published by Kottek et al. (2006), Rubel and Kottek (2010) and Rubel et al. (2017).
Worldwide Köppen climate classifications. Climate classifications are systems that categorize the world's climates. A climate classification may correlate closely with a biome classification, as climate is a major influence on life in a region. One of the most used is the Köppen climate classification scheme first developed in 1884. [1]
Köppen’s classification identifies six C climates and eight D climates: Humid subtropical climate (Cfa, Cwa) Mediterranean climate (Csa, Csb) Marine west coast climate (Cfb, Cfc) Humid continental climate (Dfa, Dfb, Dwa, Dwb) Continental subarctic climate (Dfc, Dfd, Dwc, Dwd) Type E and H climates.
Jul 19, 2018 · The modified Koppen classification uses six letters to divide the world into six major climate regions, based on average annual precipitation, average monthly precipitation, and average monthly temperature: Each category is further divided into sub-categories based on temperature and precipitation.
The Köppen climate classification was developed based on the empirical relationship between climate and vegetation. This type of climate classification scheme provides an efficient way to describe climatic conditions defined by multiple variables and their seasonalities with a single metric.
Oct 30, 2018 · The Köppen-Geiger system classifies climate into five main classes and 30 sub-types. The classification is based on threshold values and seasonality of monthly air temperature and...
Koppen climate classification, widely used vegetation-based empirical climate-classification system developed by German botanist-climatologist Wladimir Koppen. He devised formulas that would define climatic boundaries corresponding to mapped vegetation zones (biomes). He published his first scheme in 1900.
