Tool Climate Classification

This tool applies a climate classification scheme using monthly mean temperature and precipitation data. Currently implemented classification schemes are Koeppen-Geiger (1936), Thornthwaite (1931), and Troll-Paffen (1964). Because of some less precise definitions the Troll-Paffen scheme still needs some revisions.
