Climate classification revisited: from Köppen to Trewartha
Open accessAbstract
The analysis of climate patterns can be performed separately for each climatic variable or the data can be aggregated, for example, by using a climate classification.These classifications usually correspond to vegetation distribution, in the sense that each climate type is dominated by one vegetation zone or eco-region.Thus, climatic classifications also represent a convenient tool for the validation of climate models and for the analysis of simulated future climate changes.Basic concepts are presented by applying climate classification to the global Climate Research Unit (CRU) TS 3.1 global dataset.We focus on definitions of climate types according to the Köppen-Trewartha climate classification (KTC) with special attention given to the distinction between wet and dry climates.The distribution of KTC types is compared with the original Köppen classification (KCC) for the period 1961-1990.In addition, we provide an analysis of the time development of the distribution of KTC types throughout the 20th century.There are observable changes identified in some subtypes, especially semi-arid, savanna and tundra.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
