Additional Information
- Koeppen based on his scheme of Climate classification on monthly values of temperature and precipitation. He identified five major climatic types, namely:
- (1)Tropical climates, where the mean monthly temperature throughout the year is over 18 C.
- (2)Dry climates, where precipitation is very low in comparison to temperature, and hence, dry. If dryness is less, it is semiarid, if it is more, the climate is arid.
- (3)Warm temperature climates, where the mean temperature of the coldest month is between 18 C and minus 3 C.
- (4)Cool temperature climates, where the mean temperature of the warmest month is over 10 C, and the mean temperature of the coldest month is under minus 3 C.
- (5)Ice climates, where the mean temperature of the warmest month is under 10 C.
