The Trewartha Climate Classification system is a modification of the widely used Köppen system. Developed by Glenn Trewartha, this system provides a more detailed and refined classification of Earth's climates.
Key Features
Refinement of Köppen System: The Trewartha system introduces additional climate types and subdivisions, leading to a more nuanced classification.
Emphasis on Regional Variations: It better reflects regional climatic variations and incorporates more detailed information about precipitation patterns and vegetation.
Consideration of Local Factors: The system acknowledges the influence of local factors, such as elevation and proximity to water bodies, on climate.
Significance
Provides a more comprehensive understanding of the diversity of Earth's climates.
Helps in studying the distribution of plant and animal life across different regions.
Useful for various applications, including agriculture, ecology, and environmental planning.
