Abstract
There are different criteria used to classify climates. The most common classification is the Köppen-Geiger classification that recognizes five major climatic zones: Tropical, Dry, Moderate (or Temperate), Continental, and Polar with subzones under each. Classifications of climate systems include those based on their origin or those based on their effects. The Bergeron classification is based on areas of origin for air masses. Thornthwaite devised a climate classification built on the physical interactions between local moisture and temperature. Disruption of climate and of the Jet Stream in the Northern Hemisphere due to arctic warming and sea ice melting is a concern.
