Köppen Climate Classification is a system scientists use to categorize Earth's different climate zones. Created by German scientist Wladimir Köppen in the early 1900s this system helps us understand and compare climates around the world.

 

The Köppen climate classification system has been enhanced and modified several times since it was first published. The system divides the world into five climate zones based on criteria usually temperature which allows for different vegetation growth.

 

Learn about the Koeppen's Climate Classification. Understand its different types and their implications on the regions and environmental conditions.

 

The Köppen classification depends on average monthly values of temperature and precipitation. The most commonly used form of the Köppen classification has five primary types labeled A through E.

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 precipitation.

 

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 climate classification divides Earth's climates into five main climate groups with each group being divided based on patterns of seasonal precipitation and temperature.
