trewartha_climate: Main climate classification according to Trewartha

In Burke-Lauenroth-Lab/SoilWat_R_Wrapper: Simulation Framework for SOILWAT2

Description

The main climate classifications based on mean monthly temperature, i.e., without group B–dry, include

• Group A (tropical): sum(months >= 18 C) == 12

• Group C (subtropical): sum(months >= 10 C) >= 8 & sum(months >= 18 C) < 12

• Group D (temperate and continental): sum(months >= 10 C)

• Group E (boreal): sum(months >= 10 C)

• Group F (polar): sum(months >= 10 C) == 0

Usage

trewartha_climate(meanTmonthly_C)

Arguments

meanTmonthly_C

A numeric vector of length 12. Mean monthly air temperature in degree Celsius.
