Climate Zones, Observed Climate Data 1976 - 2000, South America
The Köppen-Geiger Climate Classification system is based on annual and monthly averages of temperature and precipitation ranges. These maps illustrate observed data using the TYN SC 2.03 (Mitchell et al., 2004) data set. Data was averaged over a period of 25 years. Map data were received by CIESIN as 30 arc-minute grids, in Geographic projection and resampled, using a nearest neighbor algorithm, to match the extent and resolution of GPW v3 of 2.5 arc-minutes.
