Howdy!

I have been trying to decide whether or not to include the
Troll/Paffen climate classification in a program I have that runs
several models that predict vegetation composition and
physiognomy from climate data (the model is for teaching
and personal "entertainment" purposes, nothing more).

Some of the terms used in Troll's classification are undefined in
the references I have at my disposal.  For example, what does
Troll mean by humid month or arid month or vegetation period?

Does anyone have any references that deal with Troll's
classification in detail (and that are reasonable available, in
English, preferably)?  Or is anyone aware of any algorithms that
run Troll's classification?

Send replies to me directly.  If others are interested, let me
know and I'll post a summary of the responses to the net.

Thanks in advance,

David Lawrence
