Abstract

The analysis of climate patterns can be performed separately for each climatic variable or the data can be aggregated by using a climate classification. These classifications are usually done on the basis of different data like Temperature, Rainfall and Evaporation. Thus, climatic classifications also represent a convenient tool for the validation of climate models and for the analysis of simulated future climate changes. We focus on definitions of climate types according to the Köppen-Trewartha climate classification with their different group of climates. The climate classification is carried out for the study area of Vadodara Bharuch Narmada region of Gujarat.
