Climate Classification

Climate classification systems are ways of classifying the world's climates. A climate classification may correlate closely with a biome category, as climate is a major influence on biological life in a region. The most popular classification scheme is probably the Köppen climate classification scheme.

Climate classification systems include:

  • Aridity index
  • Köppen climate classification
  • Holdridge Life Zone Classification System

    On whom, as in despite, the sun looks pale,
    Killing their fruit with frowns?”
