The Köppen Climate Classification is a system used to categorize the world's climates based on temperature and precipitation patterns. Developed by climatologist Wladimir Köppen, it divides climates into five main groups, each represented by a letter. These groups help scientists and researchers understand the climate characteristics of different regions, which can influence agriculture, biodiversity, and human activities.
Each climate group is further divided into subcategories that provide more specific information. For example, the tropical climate group includes areas with high temperatures and significant rainfall, while the polar group encompasses regions with extremely low temperatures. This classification system is essential for studying climate change and its impacts on the environment.
