Köppen Climate Classification Concepts

The video tutorial explains the Köppen climate classification system, focusing on how it categorizes global climate zones using temperature and precipitation data. It describes the creation of climatographs to visualize these factors and details the major climate groups, including tropical, dry, mild, severe, polar, and highland climates. The tutorial also covers the letter codes used to classify climates based on precipitation and temperature patterns, providing a comprehensive understanding of how to interpret and apply the Köppen system.
