Consider:
The climograph

7/29/2019 PP Phys Geog Climate
12/87
We use a climograph when we are
interested in the climate at aspecific location.

What do we use to generalize about the
climate of an extended area?
The climate classification system
7/29/2019 PP Phys Geog Climate
14/87
The climate classification system consists
of upper case (capital) letters and lower
case letters that have the followingmeaning
7/29/2019 PP Phys Geog Climate
15/87
A = Hot or tropical
BW = Desert (Very dry)
BS = Steppe (Moderately dry)
C = Warm or subtropical
D = Cold or midlatitude
7/29/2019 PP Phys Geog Climate
16/87
ET = Tundra
EF = Icecap
H = Highlands
7/29/2019 PP Phys Geog Climate
17/87
The lower case letters:
f = continually wet
s = summer dryw = winter dry
m = monsoon
For the dry areas:h = hot
k = cold
Summer temperatures
a = hot
b = warm
c = cool

What happens when the available water isreduced?
Fewer trees grow. There is more space in
between them. We call this a woodland.
In between the trees, grass and/or shrubs
usually grow.
