Climate Classifications

This page describes the development of an agriculturally based climate classification for Idaho. There is also information about reproducing the Köppen climate classification. Data used for both classifications are from the Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM), developed at Oregon State University.

• Agroclimate classification

• Köppen climate classification for the U.S. and individual states
