* Does E override B or the other way around? That is, if a climate has no month above 10 °C, but is below the aridity threshold, is it B or E? (Because of the formula for the aridity threshold, such a conflict is most likely to arise with an ET climate.)

Usage

Exports a function that calculates the Köppen climate classification of monthly average temperature and precipitation data in degrees Celsius and millimeters, based on the formulas described in the Wikipedia article.

Function

Koeppen_template
Parameters:
1, 2
Temperatures and precipitation figures (12, one per month), separated by any characters that are not digits (0-9), hyphen-minuses (-), or periods (.).
alt_CD
Use -3 °C as the dividing line between C and D climates. The default is 0 °C.
alt_hk
Cold semi-arid and arid climates (last letter k) have mean annual temperatures below 18 °C. The default is that they have at least one month below 0 °C.
alt_w
Dry-winter climates (last letter w) have more than 70% of precipitation in high-sun half of year. Default is that wettest summer month has ten times as much precipitation as driest winter month.
