What are the types of climate?

Global climate types usually follow Kohler-Peters climate classification (K? Ppen climate classification), which is a climate classification system based on temperature and precipitation model. The main climate types include:

1. Tropical rain forest climate (equatorial climate)

-High temperature and humidity, and even precipitation throughout the year.

2. Grade B-arid climate (desert climate)

-Low temperature and humidity, hot in Leng Xia in winter, and little rain.

3. Class C-temperate grassland climate (Mediterranean climate)

-Summer is warm and dry, winter is mild and humid, and rainfall is mainly concentrated in winter.

4. Class D-tundra climate (tundra climate)

-Extremely cold, short growing period and little precipitation.

5. Category E-Polar Climate

It is cold all year round, with little precipitation and little snow.

6. Class F-Coniferous forest climate (sub-frigid climate)

—— It is cool in Leng Xia in winter and there is plenty of precipitation.

7. Class G-Temperate Rainforest Climate (Ocean West Coast Climate)

-mild and humid, cool in summer, not too cold in winter, and the precipitation distribution is relatively uniform.

8. Class H-tropical monsoon climate

-hot and humid, humid in summer and dry in winter.

9. Grade I-savanna climate (savanna climate)

-The dry and wet seasons are obvious in tropical areas, and the grasslands are dry in dry seasons.

10.J-temperate monsoon climate

-large temperature difference, humid in summer and dry in winter.

Category 1 1. K- tropical alpine climate

-In high mountain areas, the temperature decreases with the elevation.

12 class. Temperate alpine climate

-Same as above, but located in temperate zone.

These basic climate types can be further subdivided, such as Aw, Am, Af, etc. , representing different subtle climate characteristics. Coriolis-Peters classification is one of the standardized climate classification schemes widely used in the world.
