The Köppen climate classification divides climates into five main climate groups, with each group being divided based on patterns of seasonal precipitation and temperature. The five main groups are A (tropical), B (arid), C (temperate), D (continental), and E (polar).
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).
The Köppen classification system recognizes four major climate groups based on temperature values (identified by the capital letters A, C, D, and E), and the fifth based on moisture (identified by the capital letter B), to create global climate patterns.
The Köppen climate classification system categorizes climate zones throughout the world based on local vegetation. Wladimir Köppen, a German botanist and climatologist, first developed this system at the end of the 19th century, basing it on the earlier biome research conducted by scientists.
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.
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: A for Tropical Humid. B for Dry. C for Mild Mid-Latitude.
The Köppen Climate Classification system is a widely used method to categorize the world’s climates based on the annual and monthly averages of temperature and precipitation. It was developed by climatologist Wladimir Köppen in the early 20th century.
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).
Köppen’s classification recognizes three B climates: Tropical and subtropical desert climate (BWh, part of BWk)
