Koppen climate classification scheme ?

The Köppen climate classification scheme is a widely used system for classifying the world's climates based on temperature and precipitation patterns. It was developed by German climatologist Wladimir Köppen in the early 20th century and has been updated and expanded by other researchers since then.

The Köppen system divides the world's climates into five main groups: tropical, dry, temperate, continental, and polar. Each group is further divided into subcategories based on specific temperature and precipitation criteria.

For example, tropical climates are characterized by high temperatures and abundant rainfall, and are further divided into subcategories such as tropical rainforest (Af) and tropical monsoon (Am). Dry climates are characterized by low precipitation levels, and include subcategories such as desert (B) and steppe (BS).

The Köppen climate classification scheme is widely used by scientists, researchers, and policymakers to understand and compare different climate regions around the world. It provides a useful framework for studying the impacts of climate change, predicting weather patterns, and planning for future climate scenarios.
