File:Americas Koppen Map.png
Summary
| Description |
English: Edited Americas map of the Köppen-Geiger climate classification. The original was a world map JPG file which was converted to a smaller PNG file, without extra modifications, by Jeroen. The PNG file was further modified by WolfmanSF as follows: the map was cropped to reduce it to South America and most of North America; climate zone Dfa was changed to web color 99CC99, and climate zone Dfb was changed to web color 339933 (both shades of green); the color modifications to climate zones of temperate North America were intended to make the colors of tropical climate zones more distinctive, for use in articles on the Great American Interchange. The legend was rearranged, and climate zones Cwc, Dsd, Dwa, Dwd and Dfd were removed from the legend because they do not appear on this map. |
