Discussion

Each student please post one interpretation of a probe site from Lab #5. This must be a Koppen designation, for example an Af climate.  

For a probe site comment on the following:

1) What koppen climate did you interpret for this site?

2) What are the criteria for this climate category, how does the probe data meet this criteria?

3) Are there any “boundary conditions” where an observation (e.g. annual precipitation) falls on the edge between the criteria of two different climate types?

4) Did the interpreted koppen climate for the probe site from the probe data match what you expected at that site in Lab 4. If not, propose a hypothesis to explain why the observations don’t match what was expected.
