Shifts of climate zones in multi-model climate change experiments using the Köppen climate classification

This study investigates the future changes in the climate zones' distribution of the Earth's land area due to increasing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations in three IPCC SRES emissions scenarios (A1B, A2 and B1). The Köppen climate classification is applied to climate simulations of...
