  • Climatology
DEF

Classification of climate based upon annual and monthly means of temperature and precipitation which also takes into account the vegetation limits.

CONT

Köppen Climate Classification. The Köppen Climate Classification System is the most widely used system for classifying the world’s climates. ... The Köppen system recognizes five major climatic types; each type is designated by a capital letter. A. Tropical Moist Climates: all months have average temperatures above 18 degrees Celsius. B. Dry Climates: with deficient precipitation during most of the year. C. Moist Mid-latitude Climates with Mild Winters. D. Moist Mid-Latitude Climates with Cold Winters. E. Polar Climates: with extremely cold winters and summers.

CONT

Köppen's scheme to classify world climates was devised in 1918 by Dr Wladimir Köppen of the University of Graz in Austria(Köppen 1931, Köppen and Geiger 1928, Köppen and Geiger 1930-39).... The Köppen classification... recognises five principal groups of world climates that are intended to correspond with five principal vegetation groups. These five climatic groups may be described as tropical rainy, dry, temperate rainy, cold snowy forest, and polar.

CONT

Koppen Classification: uses average monthly temperatures, average monthly precipitation, total annual precipitation and potential evapotranspiration [and] separates climate into general categories (A, C, D, E, H, and B) and then into smaller groups based on precipitation timing (winter dominant, summer dominant, evenly distributed).

OBS

It is a tool for presenting the world pattern of climate and for identifying important deviations from this pattern.

Classification du climat basée sur les moyennes annuelles et mensuelles de température et de précipitation; elle tient aussi compte des limites de la végétation.

CONT

Des classifications des climats du globe ont été établies notamment par les Allemands Wladimir Köppen et Carl Troll et par l'Américain Charles Warren Thornthwaite. La plus ancienne, et la plus universellement reconnue, est celle du géographe allemand W. Köppen, publiée pour la première fois en 1901 et plusieurs fois remaniée par l'auteur (jusqu'en 1931), puis par ses successeurs. [...] Le but initial de la classification de Köppen était de rendre compte des principaux groupes de végétation naturelle. Elle comprend cinq groupes principaux [tropical humide, sec, tempéré, subarctique et polaire], chacun étant lui-même subdivisé en sous-classes (ou types climatiques). La délimitation de chaque groupe correspond à la satisfaction d'un critère de caractérisation, soit purement thermique, soit correspondant à une combinaison de la température de l'air et de la pluviométrie.

OBS

Cette classification est utile pour présenter la configuration mondiale du climat et pour identifier les écarts significatifs par rapport à celle-ci.

In the aristocratic world of wine grapes, the South's Muscadine long has been the plebeian cousin to such noble European vitis as Chardonnays and Pinots Noir.

"... Those happy people could have the last laugh if Ohashi and his colleagues prove their thesis which builds on a growing compilation of scientific evidence that moderate wine consumption is good for the heart. While scientists aren’t sure what it is about red wine that makes it so helpful to the heart, the suspect it has to do with an antioxidant called resveratrol.

The first device used to locate submarines is called Asdic(named after the Ati-Submarine Detection Investigation Committee) and was invented during World War I by British, American, and French Scientists.... There is also a considerable amount of confusion about the origins of the term "ASDIC". To quote Willem Hackmann from Seek and Strike, "The Oxford University Press was prompted on 11 December 1939 to ask the Admiralty about its etymology after Churchill used the term in the House of Commons. After a certain amount of inter-departmental discussion, they were told that the word was the acronym of Allied Submarine Detection Investigation Committee. This body was formed during the war of 1914-1918, and organized much research and experimentation for the detection of submarines, however, no committee bearing this name has been found in the Admiralty archives.

On May 5, 1945, the Canadian General Charles Foulkes and the German Commander-in-Chief Johannes Blaskowitz reached an oral agreement on the capitulation of Germany in Hotel De Wereld in Wageningen. One day later, the capitulation document was signed in the auditorium of the Agricultural University located next to the hotel. After the liberation in 1945 the decision was made that Liberation Day was going to be celebrated every 5 years. Only in 1990, the day was declared a national holiday, on which the liberation would be commemorated and celebrated annually.
