Exercise 8 Climate Classification is
designed to give you exposure to using the Koeppen climate
classification system while learning about the characteristics of
earth's regional climates. You will demonstrate the relationship
between subtropical high pressure, earth's major ocean currents, and
their effect on climate. You'll develop and understanding of the
role topography plays on the geographic distribution of
precipitation. We will complete Parts 2 and 3 (depending on semester
part 1 too) of the
exercise.
Before coming to lab....
You should review your lecture notes concerning
regional climates. Bring your lecture notes, as well as your
calculator, to lab.
