A Set-Theoretic View of the Köppen Dry Climates
Using basic set theory, all climatic classes and sub-classes are seen as sets. Thus the Köppen primary classes A, C, and D are mutually exclusive thermal classes but may intersect the dry B sets. The subsets so formed, such as BSC sa provide a much more meaningful nomenclature than BSh or BSk. The proposed view and resultant terminology 1) leaves the dry climates within the thermal framework already established, 2) simplifies the total system, 3)…
The Polar Marine Climate
ANY classification system which man invents must represent a compromise between detail and simplicity. The Kbppen system of classifying climates has for decades provided such a compromise for geographers. Though attacked periodically and altered occasionally, it has proved to be a relevant and valuable reference frame and teaching tool. Fortunately, geographers have succeeded in suppressing urges to make further subdivisions in Kbppen's climatic …
