Zusammenfassung |
Climate is often defined in terms of discrete classes. Here I use bivariate
colour mapping to show that the global distribution of Köppen-Geiger
climate classes can largely be reproduced by combining the simple means of
two key states of the climate system (i.e. air temperature and relative
humidity). This allows for a classification that is not only continuous in
space, but can be applied at and transferred between timescales ranging from
days to decades. |
