forwarded from CARTA-L -------- Original Message -------- Subject: World Climate map updated: Koppen-Geiger...calling all geographers Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2007 18:22:30 -0500 From: Richard Pinnell <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: maps-l To: Folks In the most recent issue of Natural Hazards Observer (Nov 2007) on page 23, mention is made of an updated version of the Koppen-Geiger system of climate classification. This updated map (plus the accompanying article) is available for download in several formats (jpg and raster grid format) from: http://www.hydrol-earth-syst-sci.net/11/1633/hess-11-1633-2007.pdf You need to poke around a bit….you want volume 11, number 5, 2007 and scroll down to the item entitled Updated World Map. You may want to consult the final revised paper and the discussion paper, but the map and data are in the Supplement. Download this and unzip the file. You will notice that the extraction is a bit messy. Even though some folders are empty, you will find what you want in the folder called Raster Files. Richard Angie
