The Köppen system uses a series of letters to designate climate:

CLIMATE CLASSIFICATION
“Genetic” Classification Köppen symbol
--warm, humid year-round--controls: ITCZ
mT air masses
--warm, humid year-round; short dry season--Controls: ITCZ, on-shore winds in rainy season

--longer dry season than monsoon--Controls: ITCZ in rainy season (“summer”)STH in dry season (“winter”)

B climates S– potential evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation W– potential evapotranspiration is 2x precipitation

--hot, dry year round--Controls: STH
cT air masses
--not as dry as #4--Controls: same as #4
-- seasonal rainfall due to either ITCZ or Mid-latitude
cyclones

--Controls --cold ocean currents--e.g. Atacama Desert, Chile
--colder than #5 due to higher latitude
--Controls: long distance to moisture source; rainshadows
--similar to #7, but with more summer convective rainfall
