The empirical climate classification scheme, known as the Koeppen Climate Classification System, was developed by Wladimir Koeppen, a Russian-German climatologist, in the early 20th century. This system classifies the world's climates based on temperature and precipitation patterns, dividing them into several climate zones, such as tropical, arid, temperate, and polar.
The other options are not associated with climate classification:
