context_page_description: Climate classification systems are ways of classifying the world's climates. A climate classification may correlate closely with a biome category, as climate is a major influence on biological life in a region. The most popular classification scheme is probably the Köppen climate classification scheme.
  Climate classification systems include:
  Aridity index
  Alisov climate classification
  Berg climate classification
  Köppen climate classification
  Holdridge life zone classification
  Lauer climate classification
  Strahler climate classification
  Thornthwaite climate classification
  Trewartha climate classification
  Troll climate classification
  Vahl climate classification
