*MAP = mean annual precipitation, MAT = mean annual temperature, Thot = temperature of the hottest month, Tcola = temperature of the coldest month, Tmonio = number of months where the temperature is above 10, Pary = precipitation of the driest month, Psary = precipitation of the driest month in summer, Pwary = precipitation of the driest month in winter, Pswet = precipitation of the wettest month in summer, Pwwet = precipitation of the wettest month in winter, Pthreshola = Varies according to the following rules (if 70% of MAP occurs in winter then Pthreshola = 2 x MAT, if 70% of MAP occurs in summer then Pthreshola = 2 X MAT + 28, otherwise Pthreshola = 2 X MAT + 14). Summer (winter) is defined as the warmer (cooler) six-month period of ONDJFM and AMJJAS.  Table. 1 - Description of the K6ppen-Geiger climate symbols and defining criteria (Peel et al., 2007).
