{"doi":"10.1127/0941-2948/2006/0130","title":"World Map of the Köppen-Geiger climate classification updated","abstract":"The most frequently used climate classification map is that of Wladimir Köppen, presented in its latest version 1961 by Rudolf Geiger. A huge number of climate studies and subsequent publications adopted this or a former release of the Köppen-Geiger map. While the climate classification concept has been widely applied to a broad range of topics in climate and climate change research as well as in physical geography, hydrology, agriculture, biology and educational aspects, a well-documented update of the world climate classification map is still missing. Based on recent data sets from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia and the Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC) at the German Weather Service, we present here a new digital Köppen-Geiger world map on climate classification, valid for the second half of the 20th century.","journal":"Meteorologische Zeitschrift","year":2006,"id":3876,"datarank":18.025534264510696,"base_score":9.302463660851988,"endowment":9.302463660851988,"self_citation_contribution":1.3953695491277984,"citation_network_contribution":16.630164715382897,"self_endowment_contribution":1.3953695491277984,"citer_contribution":16.630164715382897,"corpus_percentile":91.8633034987795,"corpus_rank":101,"citation_count":11251,"citer_count":200,"citers_with_citation_signal":200,"citers_with_endowment":200,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":true,"is_dataset_confidence":1.0,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2006-07-10","fair_score":30.0,"fair_percentile":11.499560246262094,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":39650,"name":"Jürgen Grieser","orcid":null,"position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":39651,"name":"Christoph Beck","orcid":"0000-0002-0734-0820","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":39652,"name":"Bruno Rudolf","orcid":null,"position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":39653,"name":"Franz Rubel","orcid":"0000-0002-0048-7379","position":4,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":39654,"name":"M.
