Köppen Climate Classification - TSV
The Köppen Climate Classification is a climate classification system devised by German-Russian climatologist Wladimir Köppen in 1900. It scientifically quantifies the relationship between vegetation distribution and climate, categorizing world climates into five main types: Tropical (A), Arid (B), Temperate (C), Continental (D), and Polar (E) based on temperature and precipitation variables. As the most widely used climate classification system in the world, it is standardly utilized in diverse fields including meteorology, geography, ecology, and agriculture.

A tropical Tropical Climate A climate characterized by high temperature and humidity year-round, with the coldest month averaging 18°C or above. 18°C
B arid Arid / Dry Climate A climate where precipitation is less than evaporation, and water shortage is the main limiting factor for vegetation. true
C temperate Temperate Climate A climate with mild winters and comfortable summers, where the coldest month averages between 0°C and 18°C. 0°C to 18°C 10°C
D continental Continental Climate A continental climate with severe winters and warm summers, characterized by large seasonal temperature variations. 10°C -3°C
E polar Polar Climate An extremely cold climate where the warmest month averages below 10°C, distributed in polar and alpine regions. 10°C
